In the morning Mr Charles Cooper the sheriff’s bailiff called upon me and informed me that he had not yet arrested Master Darby, but was then a-going to do it. He stayed and breakfasted with us. Paid Thomas Burfield in goods 3/6 for 6 beehives which he brought to me today…
After dinner rode over to my mother’s, where I stayed about 2 hours, my mother being not at home. As I came home I called at Mr Chatfield’s and looked at his wool for my mother and agreed with him that she should give him 20/6 per tod for it, and as the price of wool was not yet settled, if it turned out better than what we imagine, he shall have the full value of it according to the market price. Came home about 5:20. In the evening read part of the 10th and 11th books of Paradise Lost.
