HANCOCK House. AND HosPIrA LIrY The
State of Massachusetts has recently purchas.
ed the house in which John Hancock lived
Some "reminiscences Of him are furnished
in the following from the New York Trib-
une:- r. tsH. 3 rr no >-.a q a
The Hancock House was the scene Of
much hospitality in John Hancok's time
He was in embarrassed circumstances in
the latter part of his life, and venerable
gentleman, whose society sometimes enjoy,
has told me that he had often heard, on the
first day Of term, when the docke, was call
ed, the Crier exclaim, John Hancock, John
liancock, come into court and answer unto
John Doe, or your default win be recorded -
And this when he was Governor Of the
State. But in those blessed days for law
yers, nobody minded being sued, and nobody
bothered himself about paying his debts, ex-
cept upon conpulsion, unless it suited his
convenience. Still he found means 10 er-
ercise a most abundant hospitality. The
gentleman l have quoted, who is probably
the last surviving guest of The multiiuies
Hancock entertained-since he died sixty
five years ago described TO me dinner
party he particularly remembered. There
were not less than fifty or sixty at the table,
but the host did not sit at meat with them.
