Note
Edward Mills doesn't write his name in the volume but the handwriting is the same as the previous volumes up until 1799. On 7 March 1799 there was a meting of the Master and Fellows at which it was recorded that the late Butler Edward Mills had been found to have defrauded the College of a considerable amount.
