When accounts were gone into between ' Mr Santley and Price there was £568 due to the former by the latter. There were hotel bills due whioh reduced the amount to £538 10s Bd. The odd money was paid by Price, who then offered to pay £100 on the following Monday, £200 a few days after, and "the b&lalio|i few days after that. The money wM never paid. More than that, Mr Santlej stated in his evidence that he had pre viously wiped onfc a very large stub— nearly £1000—due by Prioe. Oα last October 27th the latter left Petty's hotel where he had been staying with hi| prin cipal, and the latter ventured to expretf the opinion that Jlr Price had left suddenly. He never told Mr Santley hi was going. The manager of the Jboial deposed that Price led him to believe A* was coming bade again.. The day after he left the manager examined hit toon and found in it a couple of appazet&f empty trunks, a note to say he **• coming back, and a few casual things, taft nothing of any value. A few days pit* vioualy accused had asked the manager to kindly allow his whole aocount, insudj*g Mr Bantley'e, to stand over fo? a few $frh as he was rather pressed for money* Witness allowed him to do this, but the account had not been settled yet. When the trunks in the room were examined they were found to contain a few clothe* only. The total olaiia against Prioe vm £134195, Which had not been settled up to date. Among the -witnesses examined was Mr John Kent, the partner 4n the. "Bureau." This gentleman disclaimed any share in Price's peculiar proceeding** and, in fact, rather made himself oat to be with Mr Santley a fellow-victim of mi*« placed confidence. He was more taeb* than the unfortunate vocalist, hotfarer, seeing that he got £500 out oi tfc« •'Bureau," while poor Mr nothing but the few odd pounds *lre«4r mentioned. It appears from Mr Kjff#j* evidence that he too failed to undent Mr Price's method of keeping aoooiwk and the partnership was eudd«a4y3#* solved. The dissolution was completed ea October 19th, and it was agreed that it should date back to July 81st.
