…In the day posted part of my day book, wrote out Mr Coate’s bill, and wrote the poor book. In the evening went down to Jones’s, there being a vestry to make a poor rate, which we did for this last half year at 2/2 to the pound, and signed by Thomas Fuller, churchwarden, John Cayley, overseer, and William Piper, Jeremiah French, Joseph Durrant, Richard Page, Joseph Burgess and myself. I came home about 9:20, Lent John Cayley in cash 1 guinea.
