[Hosea Stout Diary] Sat Feb 12th 1848. Council met at ten. Private. 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 of those who had lost their whiskey ever getting pay. Council was engaged at this till noon and adjd and met again but I did not go[.] 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.
