7–13 July 1828

Williams seems in uncertainty again, and I can't guess what he will be at. Surely it is a misery to be so indecisive; he will certainly gain the ill word of both parties and might have had the good word of all; and, indeed, deserves it. We received his resignation to-day, but if the King's College are disposed to thrive, they will keep eyes on this very able man.

Hard work in the Court, the sederunts turn long and burthensome. I fear they will require some abridgment of vacation. [From July 8, 1828, to January 10, 1829, there are no entries in the Journal.]
