Notes area
Physical condition
Boards tape repaired; inner hinges shaky.
Pencilled pagination jumps from leaf 33 to leaf 44. It appears as if the leaves containing testimony notes for the Monday, April 7th, 1873 session beginning at 10:30am and ceasing at 12:30pm are not present with the item. Consultation of the physical item, as well as the recovered accession boxes, yielded no evidence of the existence of these leaves.
