Reception of the American Loyalists by Great Britain in the Year 1783. London, July 4 [1775]- Arrived at the New England coffee-house, Threadneedle Street, at 7 o’clock P.M. — July 5. Met my townsman and friend Benjamin Pickman, which rejoiced me. We walked to Westminster Hall, in Chancery saw Sir Thomas Sewell, master of the rolls, sitting with his hat on. At [the Court of] Common Pleas saw Judge Blackstone and Sergeant Glynn, and the [the Court of the] King’s Bench, Lord Mansfield and Mr. Sergeant Wedderburne. Lord Mansfield’s manner is like the late judge Dudley’s of Massachusetts. His peering eyes denote a penetration and comprehension peculiarly his own. Mr. Wedderburne spoke, but at no great length.
