Rentals,

The rentals for 1890-1907 were not deposited with the others, but were assigned numbers R 131-148 in case they should come to light in the future. However, these are not now listed.

Rentals,

The previous no. 157, eighty rentals, 1812-1889, were transferred to Dunraven rentals in 1991, and are now numbered Dunraven R 55-130. The relationship between the old no. 157 and the present nos 157/1-24 is unclear, as there is no sign of them in the 1952 preliminary schedule.
