Upon this I tried to find him out, to entreat him to consent to an examination before the council.

At length I found his address; but before I could see him, I was told by the Bishop of London, that he had come up as a Liverpool delegate in support of the Slave-trade.

Astonished at this information, I made the bishop acquainted with the case, and asked him how it became me to act; for I was fearful lest, by exposing Mr.Norris, I should violate the rights of hospitality on the one hand, and by not exposing him, that I should not do my duty to the cause I had undertaken on the other.

His advice was, that I should see him, and ask him to explain the reasons of his conduct.

I called upon him for this purpose, but he was out.
