Rec’d of Joseph Fuller 1 knuckle of veal 5d. I dined on a knuckle of veal stewed, a piece of pork boiled, an apple pudding and greens. Posted my day book.
In the evening went down to Jones’s, there being a public vestry held to make a poor rate (which was the third meeting), and we did accordingly make a rate at 4/- in the pound. It was allowed of and agreed to and also signed by everyone present except Mr Thomas Carman, who opposes it, as it will greatly affect him. Spent 1d and came home about 11:50, sober.
Paid Mrs Piper by her brother John Piper in cash 2.12.9 in full on the parish account. In the afternoon we had a quantity of snow fell, and in very large flakes, but there being no frost, and some rain falling in the fore part of the day, it did not lie, but melted almost as it fell. A fine evening and very cold and something of a frost.
