"pour avoir garison sous Dieu du mal qu'on appelle les escruelles" - to receive a cure from God of the sickness known as scrofula.
Actually the reference to the old courthouse should read that it had no "chimneys" not cement. This is clarified in a footnote to the Société Jersiaise's subsequent publication of the diary in the fascicules.
