After that there was a young man came in and sat in the same boa as myself, opposite to me; he was ;dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, and called for is pint of beer. There was a yoong man, by the name of Benjamin Icriestley, he went to the fire to toast Tome cheese, of something of that, and had the beer standing near him; when be bad done that he came and sat alongside me.— This young man asked Ben to drink ; Ben looked at him and said, he thought he knew biro when Mrs. Allen kept the house? ' Yes,' the other said, he had spent many pounds with her, and Ben ought to recollect him very well frequenting the house. They then talked of Mril. Allen's maid servants she kept. Ben asked him, if he wern't late came home from a voyage ? he answered, ' Yes.' They then asked me to drink with them; I did so, and - was a pint with them after. I then told Ben I must go to Greenwich, and I took a bundle that was under the seat; it con• tained • pepper and salt coloured jacket, a striped waisiceat, and a coarse cotton shirt. These I took for sale, as I was rather short of money. They had been in the wash-house from Thursday. 1 went to three different shops before I. could get a fair price for them as 1 thought; it last I sold them to a woman that keeps the clothes-shop below the Spanish Gal loon; she gave me by. for them. I thought it was snider the value, and I told her ir she would keep them until neat week, I would give her a shilling eztra for them; she said she would. After I came to Mr. Petit's, at eight or half-past; he keep a cook's shop. When I went in Mr. Peitit was sitting on the left of the file place, and Mrs. P. on the right ; her daughter was sitting at a round table at work, and her mother was mending stockings to the best of my belief, and there was a young man eating at a table close up me the wall ; he seemed very free, and I thought he was one of their family. They was tailtiog about some little dog, and a guinea reward l i would be given who should find bins. The daughter said she would not give ss. for Win, or to that effect. There was also another little girl, likewise the maid servant and the boy ; he was sleeping, and the maid* kept waking of him up. She was something behind Mr. Pettit's chair. l called 'for &basin of soup and slice of bread, which Mrs. P.' ster•ed me. After wards I had another half-basin; to. the mean time there was two College men came in, and hid two two-pennyworth of soup and bread. I gave Mrs. l'ettit a 3s. piece to change for mine, and they wished me a good night. It may be I stopped there half an hour. After I came out there was a woman and a girl singing opposite to Turnpin-lane; I stopped. there •a considerable time, and after went to. the Tiger's Head. George the servant was up, standing near the place receiving his beer; Mrs. Walmsley was with her back towards me as she stood in the bar, reckoning something to George; I went to the polity, and when I came in Mrs. Walmsley was in the tap-room standing near the fire ; I did not think she saw me ; I went to the lodge. room ; it could not be_ muck past nine o'clock then ; I sat down with my back towards the Secretary's desk ; there was Cotter and Saun ders near to me on my right, .though they have denied seeing me much before 10; there was a new made brother on my left; I asked him to drink with me, and he did ; Cotter and Saunders said, ' You are just too late, we have just had a making with him' There was four or five songs sang after I got into the lodge, and a man, by the name of Epsom, went to make a speech to the Noble Grand, about a supper, which it was proposed to have the Tuesday after; any member that chose was to come, end pay a part of 2s. 6d. in hand. I pail one shilling to wards It, but told them I was not certain to attend ; this all happened before 10 o'clock. Then the elder members asked the Noble for another quarter of au hour. Mr. Hohbearn was the first men that pro ceeded to harmony; there was three or four songs sang when they closed the lodge. A number of us then went to the tap-room; there was Hobbearn, Cotter, Saunders, Sparks, and - several others of us all drink ing together; we had several pints of beer and seve ral songs. I sung three or four, and Ilohbe•rn said, ' Brother Hussey, I didn't know you could oblige us with so much good harmony.' That pissed, and as we was breaking up Sparks got some gin, and said I must take some; I refused, and said it would make me sick. lie said I should, oi he would throw it over me.

He said, very well, it was all right. I left about nine in the morning, and went to Cowley's for my shoes that was repairing ; he had not done these, and I stopped till they were finished.
