6_d_ and a "fine bound hat with girdle and buckle" costing 10$.

6_d_.As a more direct and frequent stimulus a quart of rum was served weekly to each of three drivers, three carpenters, four boilers, two head cattlemen, two head mulemen, the "stoke-hole boatswain," and the black doctor, and to the foremen respectively of the sawyers, coopers, blacksmiths, watchmen, and road wainmen, and a pint weekly to the head home wainman, the potter, the midwife, and the young children's field nurse.

These allowances totaled about three hundred gallons yearly.

But a considerably greater quantity than this was distributed, mostly at Christmas perhaps, for in 1796 for example 922 gallons were recorded of "rum used for the negroes on the estate." Upon the birth of each child the mother was given a Scotch rug and a silver dollar.
No record of whippings appears to have been kept, nor of any offenses except absconding.

Of the runaways, reports were made to the parish vestry of those lying out at the end of each quarter.
