Civil regulations were also adopted, which the citizens, at a less perilous period, might have deemed arbitrary. But the Dutch paid homage to tlie supremacy of law. Private incon- venience for the general good was the patriot's duty. They submitted to direct taxation, to demolition of houses that em- barrassed the defence, and to the assumption on the part of 12 the governor and council of the doubtful prerogative of sove- reignt}^, the y)ow...er of the Ne exeat : for no one was permitted to pass out of the city, nor even be ferried over the river with- out a hcense or passport. No one could pass into the island, but through the cit}' gates, and if any one attempted so to do while the gates Avere locked, death was the penalty.
