About 10 o’clock Mr French called on me and brought me a warrant to serve on Thomas Ling. We immediately went to Thunderswood, took him up, carried him to Uckfield where he swore himself on [i.e., to be a resident of] East Hoathly parish before George Courthope Esq [J.P.]. I spent 4d at Halland’s.
Came home with Mr French and stayed there some time. Came home and went to bed drunk.
