About 8:20 Mr Burgess and I set out on foot for Lewes (the quarter-sessions being there today) in order to get the order of Richard Parkes and Mary his wife confirmed, and Mr Burgess to get the order withwhich, he delivered Robert Durrant confirmed. I paid Mr Robert Plumer 3/- in full. Also paid Messrs Richards and Comber 3/6 in full. Gave Mr Thomas Scrase’s apprentice for his last and this years’ boxes 12d. Gave Mr John Tucker in cash 0.14.0, which with the 2/- he is to put to it more, makes 16/- with which he is to pay Mrs Sarah Mott, widow, it being in full for 1 year’s interest due from me to her about the beginning of November last.
I dined at the White Horse in company with 20 more on a buttock of beef boiled, a saddle of mutton roasted, a pond currant pudding and an apply pasty (my family at home dining on the remains of Tuesday’s dinner with the addition of some mutton broth). We got both our orders confirmed. I called to see Mr Friend, Mr Bennett, Mr Tucker, Mr Thomas Scrase, Mrs Roase, Mr Madgwick and Mr Davy. After I came home about 9:30 and very near sober, but I think never more tired in my whole life. Spent today on the parish account 19d, but none on my own account. In my absence my wife paid Joseph Fuller (by his son Richard) 6d for a sheep’s head and bell received by him today. Saw my father Slater at Lewes today.About 8:20 Mr Burgess and I set out on foot for Lewes (the quarter-sessions being there today) in order to get the order of Richard Parkes and Mary his wife confirmed, and Mr Burgess to get the order with
