Mr Averill, counsel for Price, agreed to the request, and the remand was granted. A crowd of about 100, mostly men, gathered outside the Napier Courthouse, and waited for the appearance of the escort from the direction of the Police Station. The accused, however, was taken to the Courthouse early and entered by a side door. He was also escorted away from the Courthouse through the back entrance.
