Scope and Content Note
Two cash books of J. Bowman, Toll Collector at Rochester, list names and amounts which are totalled daily.
The cover of one book is printed and entitled "A Cyphering Book...Sold by Marshall, Spalding & Hunt, Rochester." On the cover is an engraving of a canal packet and a warehouse. The books were presumably submitted to the Comptroller along with the accounts of the collector, as required by legislation of 1826.
