Question. What obstruction have you met with in collecting Taxes?

Answer. That we met at several convenient places in the county. The Regulators refused to pay, and gave for reason they were illused

by officers and did not know what they paid their money for, and that he hath seen goods taken from the Sheriff by those people called Regulators, in particular in 1760, from James Pickett a Blanket, and threatened his life if he refused, but at length he delivered up the same, fearing the consequences.
