• ... that the slave trader William James left for his country retreat before rioting sailors ransacked his home?

• Source: Gomer Williams p=557 and 558 say "The family having been apprised of their coming, had left it, and taken some of their most valuable effects with them to a country house they have" and "The household furniture was very rich, with abundance of china and chintz bed-furniture, all of which were torn to shivers, and linen, plate, &c. tumbled into the street, and thrown about in fragments immediately, in the air. During the whole time the cellars were kept quite open, and what liquor they did not drink, they threw away.
