Our obituary records the demise of Mr. W. Price,
of the firm of Price and Co., army agents, of Craven-street,
Strand. The death of this gentleman WAS caused by a fall
from his horse. Mr. Price was well known in military
circles, and the event happening at so early a period of life
will be deeply deplored. Mr. Price was connected by mar-
riage with the family of General Sir Colin liallictr, O'Neill,
Governor of Chelsea Hospital.
