Let me add a little to the mystery... There was a bottom line that read, "The HIgh Constables of the respective Baronies are required by the Grand Jury to notify to the Cess-payers their nomination as presiding Cess-payers for the ensuing Special Sessions. EDWARD E. MAYNE. Secretary of the Grand Jury April 5th, 1852. It was separated from the list by a line, and I didn't realize it was part of the same article... Sorry.
