Reads- Ireland & Whitbread have employed more men the whole season than any former year. Ireland discharged 9 on the 10th. The number of inefficient hands; a bad example. In the store yard is a carpenter called Molyneux, scarcely ever there when sober; never does any work; has 18s. per week. Saunders is almost blind; when he comes to get his money he can't see 2/6 if placed a foot away from him and a 6d. has to be put in his hand; he has 14s. per week Charcoal under Whitbread's management (details). Tax collector. Thanks for £2000. All tradespeople are much distressed & can't get their bills paid.
