570.2 the Mob had pull'd down the house of Zachariah Hood

In New Jersey, Coxe, the stamp-officer, fearing violence, resigned. At
Annapolis, in Maryland, the excited populace pulled down a house that
Zachariah Hood, a stamp-officer, was repairing for the purpose, they
thought, of selling stamps in it, and the governor dared not interfere.
General alarm prevailed among the officers of the crown. They saw that the
Americans were thoroughly aroused and very strong. In other colonies not
here named, there was equal firmness, but less violence, in preventing the
sale of stamps and when the first of November arrived, the law, so far as
its enforcement was concerned, was a nullity.
