Hosea Stout Journals
February 12, 1848
Summary: John Pack presented Council
with a petition that dealt with pay for his whiskey.
Journal entry: Sat Feb 12th 1848. Council
privately met at ten. Here a petition was presented by John Pack
for pay for his whiskey which, after much discussion, was burnt.
This I believe gave a finish to the idea, for those who had lost
their whiskey, for ever getting payed. Council was engaged at this
till noon, and then met again but I did not go. I was around as
usual. After sunset the police concluded to have a party at the
Ballroom, where they met & had an agreeable party till about Twelve.
President Morley & some more good men attended and joined in the
dance.
