Thursday, June 12 1755

At home all day. In the afternoon Thomas Cornwell beat me at cricket; lost 6d. Paid Halland gardener 12d for 2 gallons of gooseberries.

Found in The History of England that England was first divided into counties, parishes etc. in King Alfred’s reign, about the year 890.

Rec’d of Thomas Hicks 3/7 in full on Mr Thomas Thompsett’s account.
