In the morning looked over my haberdashery to make out my order for Mr Collison, whom I expect tomorrow. We dined on a piece of beef boiled, a sheep’s heart pudding and a plain suet pudding, with some Savoy greens. Paid the wife of John Durrant the 5/- I kept for her on Sunday last. In the evening my wife paid a visit to Mrs Fuller. Robert Rice and another young man of his acquaintance called on me, but did not stay. In the evening I was sent for down to Mrs Virgoe’s. When I came, I found it was to balance the accounts between her and, her late tenant Mr John Fuller, which I paid as under:
| Mr Fuller Dr. | |
| To two years’ and a quarter’s rent, due at Christmas last at £25 per year | 56.5.0 |
| Per Contra Cr. | |
| To a bill of carpenter’s work paid to Will Russell | 1.1.9 |
| To a do. of mason’s work paid to Robert Atkins | 1.4.3 |
| To 2 years’ land tax, due Lady Day last | 4.10.0 |
| To 3 years’ quit-rent due St Michael, 1756 | 0.7.6 |
| To insurance paid Mr Streak | 0.15.0 |
| To do. paid Mr Verral | 0.9.0 |
| To cash received today | 15.7.6 |
| To a note of hand payable to Mrs Virgoe or bearer on demand dated tomorrow | 22.0.0. |
| To cash paid the last September | 12.10.0 |
| 56.5.0 |
Mrs Virgoe gave Mr Fuller a receipt in full for the sum of 56.5.0 and afterwards gave him 0.9.6 which was for some land tax which did appear to be paid by Mr Fuller for tax due at St Michael, 1753.
I was sent for home to Mr Collison. When I came home, I balanced my cash account with him, and there was due to me 20.11.8, which was carried to the account of goods. I paid him in cash 21.1.6, which left more due to him & Co. the sum of £10 besides the money due on Mr Sam Virgoe’s account. Mr Collison stayed and lodged at our house, and I gave him my order. After I balanced accounts with Mr Collison as above, I paid him in cash £7, which was placed to the credit of my new cash account. Gave Thomas German at Mr Porter’s 1 hat, value 0.7.6, it being in full for 1 year’s winding up the church clock, at Easter next.
