In the forenoon walked down to Halland where I received of Mr Baley in cash 41.19.6 in full as under:

In full for 1 year’s poor tax for Halland House wood, lands, manor and part of the park due from the Duke of Newcastle at Easter last13.19.6
In full for 1 year’s window tax for Halland House due at Lady Day last16.16.0
In full for half a year’s land tax for Halland House, manor, woodlands and part of the park due from the Duke of Newcastle at St Michael last     7.19.0
In full for poor tax due for Mr Nesbitt’s woodlands at Easter3.5.0

I dined on part of a root of a tongue boiled and a raisin suet pudding and greens. A good deal of rain in the day. Very little to do all day. I think I never knew trade or money so scarce before.
