We had all last week very cold, pincing, Easterly winds: but the weather has been more favourable this week; and things looked very well at Wallington, all but the apricock trees, which Mr Duffield thinks have suffered. Stephen Dial, who is in Goal [sic] on acco[un]t of the robbery of Capt[ai]n Jubbs Ship and the promisory note given by him for the value of the things which it was supposed he had taken, is now discharged on common bail: only is detained for his Goal fees, which are about 11 shillings.
