Hosea Stout Journals
February 5, 1848
Summary: Council settles dispute over whiskey ownership.
Whiskey laws are sustained.
Journal entry: Sat Feb. 5th 1848. Around as usual. At one
o'clock went to Council. John Pack had prefered a charge against
Bp Carns for taking his whiskey, which after much ado and argument,
was laid aside as he had went according to law. I here spoke in
favor of sustaining the law and bore down on those who sold spiriteous
liquors very hard. In the evening I & several of the police met
at E. Gardners with H. S. Eldredge to settle or rather explain to
him the reason that the police did not want him for a Collector,
which was done I believe to the satisfaction of all parties. I came
home about Eleven O'Clock P. M.
