Very wet and stormy. Gave William Swinbourne1 notice to leave this day fortnight, and engaged Daniel Hermisan, an old man of 60 who had been 18 years with Mr J Steed of Northfield. Went to A G in the morning. Home to dine and in the afternoon to Solihull to see Miss Dickens who has returned from the asylum but little improved and then on to WW

Poor William Swinbourne. I wonder what he'd done to get the sack.

Indeed. There is no clue anywhere in the archive, I'm afraid, so we can only guess.
