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 last | 13.19.6 |
In full for 1 year’s window tax for Halland House due at Lady Day last | 16.16.0 |
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 Easter | 3.5.0 |
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.
