The women delegates instead of having seats on the floor were forced in consequence of this decision to look on from the galleries.

Garrison, who with Charles Lenox Remond, Nathaniel P.Rogers, and William Adams, was late in arriving in England, finding, on reaching London the women excluded from the convention and sitting as spectators in the galleries, determined to take his place among them, deeming that the act of the convention which discredited the credentials of Lucretia Mott and her sister delegates, had discredited his own also.

Remond, Rogers, and Adams followed his example and took their places with the rejected women delegates likewise.

The convention was scandalized at such proceedings, and did its best to draw Garrison and his associates from the ladies in the galleries to the men on the floor, but without avail.

There they remained an eloquent protest against the masculine narrowness of the convention.
