…I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of some calf’s liver and rashers of pork fried. Paid Mr Porter in cash 50.15.0, it being in full for the same sum due to this parish for principal and interest due on a bond from Mr Will Piper deceased; that is, Mr Piper and Joseph Burgess were jointly bound for £100. Mr Burgess has already paid his part of the bond, and now I have paid the other part as one of the devisees of Mr Piper and have accordingly taken up the said bond. It was for a legacy left to the poor of this parish by Mr Sam Atkins deceased.
At home all day and thank God pretty busy. In the evening read part of The Royal Magazine for March and drew up a petition for this parish to present to Mr Michell.
