February 1749
As it was usual to give a dinner to the land surveyor who examines pupils, also to the land waiter to whom the order was addressed for attending the keys, and for such others of them as I was the least acquainted with as well as the gaugers, I was obliged to order one at a tavern in Thames Street for which I was the least qualified either from my turn of mind or depth of my pocket, which was therefore the most disagreeable part I had to go through, which however I performed as well as I could, and my company professed themselves much pleased with, but I cannot omit observing that from bad habits those belonging to this house are very luxurious men in general and make it a constant practice to drink two or three gils of wine before noon every day. The dinner and fees I had paid cost me about ten guineas and I thought myself well off compared to the expense of some others on the like occasion. A very handsome full certificate of my qualifications was then sent to the Commissioners of the Customs and by them transmitted to the Lords of the Treasury, but I found without particular interest there, all this would avail to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
