Adventure of [[Buffalora]] -

Monday Aug'st [August] 19th: Sat out per Virturino for [[Turin]],
dined at [[Buffalora]] - ab't [about] 20 Miles from [[Milan]] -
were visted by the People of the Dogana, who
exceeded all Measure in th'r [their] rigorous Examination
of our Trunks. This ~~seem~~ was owing to the neglect
of the Viturino. The Men of the Dogana
came to the Post House w'ch [which] is the Inn we
dined at, & demanded some small fees
whatever we thought proper to give them
to let us pass without molestation - our
answer was that we had no small money,
but in paying for Dinner should change
& would then give them somewhat. We desired [?]
the Viturino in their hearing to drive to
the Dognana. Unfortunately however after
Dinner, the Viturino passed by the Dogana
without letting us know - The Men of the
custom being on the watch followed us
ab't [about] 100 yards & made us turn back -
one of them accused the Viturino for going off
before we had given them any thing, & was
so angry, that it appeared no easy matter
to pacify him - He was therefore determined
to plague and detain us all he could -
