                * Folios go and 91 have paper different from that of neighboring folios and
              like that of folios 103-109. Part of the entries have dates contemporary with those
              on the later folios. However, the court minutes seem to belong to the March
              session. Possibly the clerk left blank spaces in March and filled them with entries
              several months later. An earmark entry on folio 91 Is made three years later
              than other entries.
