I accordingly accompanied them to the City Hall, but as it waslocked and the officers could not at once find the key, we were told thatthe court would be held in Mr. Smith's store, a large and commodious room. This was what is termed in common phrase in Raleigh a "call court. " TheMayor, Mr. Loring, presided, assisted by William Boylan and JonathanBusbye, Esqs. Justices of the Peace. There was a large number of peopletogether--more than could obtain admission to the room, and a largecompany of ...mobocratic spirits crowded around the door. Mr. Loring read thewrit, setting forth that I had been guilty of _delivering abolitionlectures in the State of Massachusetts_. He asked me whether I was guiltyor not guilty. I told him I did not know whether I had given abolitionlectures or not, but if it pleased the court, I would relate the course Ihad pursued during my absence from Raleigh. He then said that I was atliberty to speak. The circumstances under which I left Raleigh, said I, are perfectlyfamiliar to you.
