Answer the following factual question accurately and concisely.

**Question:** How many licenses to sell liquor did the council of Paris, Ontario, grant in 1850 when seven tavern keepers applied but were met with backlash from over 100 abolitionist villagers?

Write your answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`. Your answer should be:
- A direct, factual response to the question
- As concise as possible while being complete
- Without unnecessary hedging or qualifications

**Important:**
- You should ONLY interact with the environment provided to you AND NEVER ASK FOR HUMAN HELP.
- Focus on accuracy - if you're uncertain, it's better to acknowledge that than to guess incorrectly.
- The answer file should contain your response as plain text.
