Transcriber's notes

Given that "Mr E. McDonald" and "Mr J. McDonald" have been written in identical longhand writing, and "Mr J. McDonald" appears in the top entry on most other pages in this part of the Volume, it is reasonable to assume that the ensuing "ditto" on this page should be interpreted as meaning both of them
