In the morning Mr Carman and I set out for Newhaven in order to retain counsellor Humphrey on a cause to be tried at the next quarter sessions to be held at Lewes on an appeal of this parish against Heathfield. Thomas Durrant accompanied us for pleasure.
We got to Newhaven about 9:20 and waited upon Mr Humphrey. So soon as we had done our business, Mr Carman set out for Lewes. Thomas Durrant and myself and Mr Tipper dined at the White Hart on a veal pudding, a knuckle of veal boiled, a piece of pork and greens. After we had dined, Mr Tipper and we rode to Seaford where we drank tea and parted.
Thomas Durrant and I came home very safe and sober about 8:20. Spent today as under the parish account:
| My dinner | 0.0.6 |
| My horse | 0.0.7 |
| Ferry | 0.0.1 |
| Tea at Seaford | 0.0.6 |
| Liquor | 0.1.3 |
In my absence today my old acquaintance Mr Tucker came to see me and brought me a present of some fine mackerel.
