In the morning Thomas Prall and I went down to Osborne’s and took their servant and carried her to Uckfield when she swore herself upon our parish, but could not be persuaded to swear her great belly. I took out a summons for Anne Jeffrey. I came home about 3 o’clock. We dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a light pudding and some fried herrings. Rec’d of Will Henly 4/6 in full. Paid Mr Samuel Beckett in cash 5.14.0; viz.,
| To cash paid to William Ashmore in full | 0.14.0 |
| To money on the last quarter’s carriage acc’t | 5.0.0 |
My brother came over in the afternoon to borrow the mare. He stayed and drank tea with us. I received of him in cash 3.1.4, which, with the cash I received the 10th and 12th instant from my mother by him, makes the sum of 9.13.4. I have paid on her account as under:
| To Crowley | 4.6.4 |
| To a bill of spice etc. | 3.15.0 |
| 8.1.4 |
…My wife very ill all day.
