[Hosea Stout Diary] Saturday January 1 1848. Clear & pleasant day. The police were out on what we called a police spree.
There were some persons in this place who were trying to set up a gambling table and to find out how the matter stood several of us went into a drinking spree with some who were concerned in it. They soon got high enough to develop their plans and thus we learned all about it
At dark the police met at the Council House with their wives and friends & had an agreeable party till Twelve at night. Police commenced on guard by 3 tours pr night.
