Arrangement
This series is arranged in two chronological series: pieces 1-354, which are items formerly under LCA references, and cover the period 1845-1941; and pieces 355-350 which are items formerly under LCA(Y), MT 1, and MT(Y)1 references and cover the period 1834-1947. Documents concerning a specific case may be found in either or both series.
This is the second re-arrangement of these series, which was made when there was found to be very considerable duplication between them. Keys to the present references of former MT 1 and MT(Y)1 items will be found at the front of the list of RAIL 1038
