Paid Mr Laurence Thornton, our officer of excise, in cash 5/1¼, which is in full for the same sum he paid the collector of excise yesterday for an inland duty on the stock-in-hand of coffee and chocolate; viz.,
| For 3½ lbs coffee | 0.4.4¼ |
| For 1 1b chocolate | 0.0.9 |
At home all day, but not very busy.
