In the meantime, James Alston, oblivious of the proceedings, was in the Police Court, thinking that the case would be heard there. After the adjournment of the Police Court, he approached Editor Mitchell, who informed him that the hearing in his case had taken place upstairs in the Hustings Court and would be called again June 22nd. He went up there with him, reported and this was confirmed.
