In the morning Mr Vine called on me, and we, together with Mr Joseph Burgess, walked to Lewes in order to settle Mr Vine’s affairs. We called upon Mr Baley and Mr Michell to consult them, and we agreed to have all his effects turned over (by virtue of a letter of attorney or some other deed that Mr Michell should think more proper) to Mr Abraham Baley, Joseph Fuller and myself to sell and dispose of for the benefit of ourselves and his other creditors, and to distribute it among his other creditors in proportion to their respective debts.
Rec’d of Mr Michell in cash 17.4.0 in full for the Duke of Newcastle’s poor tax by the rate made the 17th instant. I came home about 3:20. Spent today 8½d. After I came home, I dined on the remains of what my family had for dinner; viz., a bullock’s heart roasted and stuffed and a green salad. In the evening read one of Tillotson’s sermons. Very much fatigued with my journey.
