Walked down to Halland twice this morning. Myself nor servant at church in the morning. Sam Jenner dined with me on a shoulder of venison and a plain rice pudding. Myself and servant both at church in the afternoon…
After churchtime Sam Jenner, Joseph Fuller, Thomas Durrant and myself walked down to Halland (there being a public day) at which was the two judges on the circuit; viz., Lord Chief Justice Pratt and Justice Bathurst; Lord Gage; the Earl of Ashburnham; Mr Pelham of Stanmer; Rose Fuller Esq; Sir John Bridger Kt; Thomas Chowne Esq; William Plumer Esq and a great many gentlemen of all ranks. We neither ate nor drank, but took a survey of the company and saw most of the gentlemen take their coaches and horses and then came home about 7:20.
After we came home T. Durrant and myself walked up to Joseph Fuller’s and smoked a pipe or two and then came home about 8:50 and went to bed very sober about 9:30.
