2. Miss Clifton, accompanied by Mrs. Clifton and Miss Frost, called upon me today to prefer a sad complaint against Nelly. I wish they would keep their miserable squabbles among themselves.

Sent a Gazette to Mr. Troy containing advertisement for church at Versailles.

Intimated to D^r Murdoch my wish to be relieved of the responsibilities of his attorneyship.

4. Sent a Caution to Estwick not to proceed further with the front of the building without submitting to me his views.

7. Sunday - Trinity A disagreeable task imposed upon me today - settling a dispute among the Sisters of the Rosary.

Fr. Joachim's share of stole fees for May amounted to 191/2 dollars.

8. Read for Judge Firebrace F. Clancy's infamous letter. When I came to the passage alluding to himself he became greatly excited. What will D^r Clifton say when he hears of the shocking terms in which he is alluded to?

9 June 1846. Mr. Robinson sent a message seeking an interview, the result of which, with J. Reed, was his consenting to take 9,000 dollars for the house, including horse and carriage.

10. Mr. Robinson called today, and we have agreed as to terms, he advertising transport of house etc. - giving me bill of sale - and on my part I have agreed to give him $5,000 on Wednesday next 17^th. inst. - and $2,000 more on passing transport - other 2,000 in twelve months.

11. The mail has arrived bringing letters from D^r Taylor, London Joint Stock Bank, Grenada, sister Catharine and Mr. John Gould.

16. The Gazette has an article approbatory of my purchase etc.

17 June 1846. Young Haynes called on me this morning and informed me that he had been appointed, by the Portuguese Government, Portuguese Consul of B. Guiana. A deputation of the heads of the Portuguese wait on the Governor by appointment, to protest against the nomination.

Went down to Robinson's office in the Public Buildings, and completed purchase of his house etc.

Paid same time $5,000 - and received as security Mr. Croal's mortgage for the like sum.

The other $4,000 to be paid on passing the transport - 2,000 in cash and 2,000 in a Bill of Exchange at 6 months.

Mr. Croal called this morning, having discovered an error in the calculation of interest on the mortgage which amounts to $700 dollars more than Robinson made it. Mr. C. evidently feels no great respect for Robinson's honesty etc.

Mrs. Thomas's cottage, formerly Croal's, is in the market. She paid 11,000 guilders for it - and would probably take less than half that sum for it.

My purchase is creating a sensation - two of the newspapers have alluded to it.

Wrote to Cardinal Fransoni, sending him copies and extracts of the Clancys' letters.

Wrote also to Mr. John Gould. Forwarded copies of the Gazette of the 16^th. inst. to Mr. Troy, Mr. Gould, D^r Taylor, Mrs. Butler, Cardinal Fransoni, Mar: Hynes, M. Kelly and President of the Propagation at Lyons - posted them myself.

21. A rainy Sunday again, and very few at Mass.

Married a Portuguese couple - the bridegroom one of the Camachos and the bride a Varella. They are of the most respectable of the Portuguese here. They have been very angry with our young priest, who unfortunately instead of getting into favour with [them] is becoming daily more disliked.

Today the new Episcopal Chapel (S. Philip) was con "named", and opened for service. The officiating parson (Webber) is an out and out Puseyite. Six crosses surmount the exterior of the chapel. There is also an altar, candlesticks, picture and other marks of popery visible in the interior.

26. An unpleasant announcement this morning. A marshal called this morning saying that he came to take execution of the House on the part of Baum and Dallas, who obtained it for costs in Clancy's suits. The date of letter of execution is the 22^nd. inst. This is most infamous on the part of Baum and Dallas, whom I allowed to escape me when I might [have] brought an action against them for libel.
