…I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with a piece of mutton boiled. My brother took a walk for me in the forenoon and received of Will Wenham 16/-, and also of Edward Hope 1.8.0, both of which are in full for half a year’s land tax due at St Michael last. Rec’d of the persons following the sums as under in full for half a year’s land tax due at St Michael last:
| Paid, James Hutson Jr | 0.10.0 |
| Do. Mr Joseph Burgess | 0.12.0 |
| Do. Thomas Davy | 0.4.0 |
| Do. Joseph Durrant | 0.14.0 |
| Do. John Nutley | 1.0.0 |
| Do. Thomas Carman | 1.6.0 |
| Do. Thomas Reeve by the payment of his daughter | 2.16.0 |
| Do. of Francis Turner per son | 0.12.0 |
Removed from the land tax book the tax of 1.8.0 charged to James Fuller to his account to that of my own account. Also removed the sum of 2.8.0 from the same to the account of the executor of Mr Will Piper; that is, crossed it out in the land tax book and made it paid in their account and accordingly took the cash from their account.
At home all day and very busy. My late servant and Master Baker drank tea with me. Paid Mr Will Jenner in cash 3.10.0 in full for half a year’s rent due from Will Eldridge at Lady Day last. Paid this on the parish account.
