Took Penny Bank at School at 12. Drove Bell to Banbury this afternoon , took Webb. Called at Fortescue’s at their request. Saw Mr Charles Fortescue about Mann and Inns. He had not yet written to them, having been away from home last week. I instructed him to write to them and demand a retraction and apology or a denial that they imputed any dishonourable conduct in connexion with Church accounts to me and my churchwarden.

Visited Rev Graham-Jones at Christ Church Vicarage. Saw Mrs Graham-Jones and her sister. Mr G-Jones was not at home.

Called on Mr Smith of Tadmarton Rectory and offred to take him to Ruri-decanal Chapter at Cropredy on Wednesday next.
