[Hosea Stout Diary] Tuesday April 27th 1847. This morning I & the Marshal went to the ferry & told Br Higbee the ferry-man not to take any one over who had not paid his tax, for there were now great numbers going off through disafection & we took this plan to secure their portion of supporting the police. Some paid it willingly while others mad[e] bitter complaints. I was around as usual & wrote considerable[.] In the evening it was like for rain.
