Transcriber's notes

Brought forward figures should be
122 106 16 if the columns are summed on previous page
and the running total to be carried forward should have been
162 141 21 £14.2.0
161 141 20 £14.2.0 has been carried forward to the parish totals on the next page, so the duty is correct at
141 @ £0.2.0 = £14.2.0 but the number of horses and the number of "not liable" horses in one less than it should be.

It looks like there is a deduction from the total, but no reduction in duty collected.
