Tin " Donau? CHRONIt2I.IOI" OAREILID Rtsowe
or MR. ENISOR'S ArI•IRE. —tilt TABLES TORNILD.—
Laat week the proprietor of the Chronicle threatened
to coo tradict our report; but this, as usual, turned
out to be only a threat. We have been requested to
contradict the Chronicle's version ; which, owing to
an omiaaion of facts, mis-statementa, and other bits
of' cooking," is calculated to mislead the public,
We are authorised to tall the Dorset Chronicle end
the public, that iii. not true that "Mr. Eneor gave
a cheque for £1,890. having a balance in the
hands of his beakers, Masora Williams and Co., of
about £1,500." Mr. &sot was too honourable a
man to be guilty of snob an sot ; and when begs,.
the cheque, we are assured be had a credit balance
of £2,182 86. Pd.; but, in consequence of Mr. Paul
keeping the cheque for a week, Mr. Euaor was not
aware that the credit balance was, during the week,
reduced to £1.5033. Mr. Baur was, of course,
astonished at the bank refusing the cheque; and the
"liberal terms?" which the honk offered
being such as it was impossible for him
to oblate (in a time of pressure and panic)
he wrote to Maim Williams on the 18th May,
stating that he must trust to the lenieacy of his
creditor.; and on the 1911 be received a reply stat-
ing that be was to draw no more ehequee upon his
account. The bank did not even stop here ; they
were, not content with bolding Mr. Eames balasice
of £1,663 ; but they actually waived the previous
notice of insolvency, and induced Mr. Hamar to pay
£6O to Mr. Watson, who woo premed by Mr. Henning
I. pay rent to Mr. Williams. The Chronicie
carefully omitted that the bank premed Mr
Enter to sign this "small" cheque, and also carefully
omitted the reason given at the meeting, namely, to
pay rent due to Mr. Williams. Mr. Enaor, of
amuse, naturally concluded that the bank would not
ask him to pay Mr. Watson and then refuse to pay
Mr. Paid, to whom he gave another cheque for
£B9O, and which cheque the bank actually dis-
honoured with a balance due to Mr. &mar ol
£1,533, the bank having taken upon themselves to
transfer the £1,533 to Raker and Eusor's account
without any authority, and without, in our opinion,
any legal right; and west. further of opinion that
the hank had no right to refuse the payment of his
cheque for the £B9O ; and we cannot but express our
regret that it should have caused Mr. Eater such an
unexpected moon wen soca The Chronicle says the
barijc made the transfer under legal advice, and
"Mess,., Williams state that they will throw no
obstacle in the way of a proper decision being arrived
at." What does this mean Does it mean that the
bank will compensate Mr. &ism for the wrong they
have done him in injuring his credit when they dud
they were wrong in dishonouring his cheque?
