In the morning Mr Stone called on me and bleeded me. My servant only at church in the morning, Mr Long and myself staying at home and getting dinner. My friend Mr Long dined with me on a piece of beef boiled, a light pudding and greens. Myself, servant and Mr Long at church in the afternoon; the text in Matthew 29:31,32: “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.”
Waldron singers came and sang at our church in the afternoon. After churchtime Mr Porter and myself gave away the interest of hundred pounds, being a legacy given to this parish for ever by Mr Sam Atkins, formerly gardener and house steward at Halland to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, the interest of which annually to be distributed among the poor householders of this parish. I presume them to be such (according to the testator intention) as had no monthly or even any relief at all out of the parish book. But be that as it will, we now deviate from that rule. The interest due November 20th 1763 being £4 and one shilling, Mr Porter put to it of the money given at the communion, and we distributed it in the following manner:
| Richard Braizer | 0.0.2 | Thomas Tester | 0.5.0 |
| Edward Babcock | 0.1.0 | Richard Vinal | 0.3.0 |
| John Durrant | 0.4.0 | Ann Wood | 0.1.0 |
| Widow Dan | 0.2.0 | William Eldridge | 0.8.0 |
| James Emery | 0.3.0 | Thomas Ling | 0.5.0 |
| Richard Heath | 0.3.0 | Thomas Roase | 0.2.0 |
| Samuel Jenner | 0.3.0 | John Streeter | 0.2.0 |
| Richard Prall | 0.3.0 | Widow Cain | 0.2.0 |
| Susan Swift | 0.2.0 | Widow Cornwell | 0.2.0 |
| William St[l]arkes | 0.5.0 | Will Sinden | 0.3.0 |

| Widow Trill | 0.2.0 | Will Elphick | 0.5.0 |
| Sarah Thunder | 0.3.0 | Peter Adams | 0.2.0 |
But several of the people not being there, I took their money in order to pay it to them, and they are as follows:
| John Durrant | 0.4.0 pd | Will Sinden | 0.3.0 XX |
| James Emery | 0.3.0 pd | Will Elphick | 0.5.0 XX |
| Widow Trill | 0.2.0 pd | Peter Adams | 0.2.0 pd |
Of the above William Elphick’s is to be placed to the account of his debt. Sam Jenner and Mr Long drank tea with me and then Mr Long went away. Sam Jenner stayed the evening and took part of my bed. A very pleasant day. Quite warm what we have had it. In the [ ] my servant down at her brother’s.
