By common consent the entire commuelly decided upon a "boycott" and refused to buy any salt whatever from the Government. The result was the very opposite of what the authorities had looked forward to. The revenue, far from in- creasing, fell off twenty-five per cent in some towns and as much as thirty-five in others. Alarmed at the pecuniary loss and enraged at the obstinacy of the common people, they issued orders to enforce the penalties, and picking out a number of leading villagers as ringleaders, sent thefr runners to arrest and imprison the luckless rustics. Several of the latter managed to escape their pursuers or to bribe them off. A few were apprehended and thrown into gaol. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
