Notes |
At the beginning of the case the respondent is called William Ross in both the APC and the PC register. In the committee report, however, he is consistently called Bartholomew Rees, with no mention of a Ross ever having been involved. The initial reference to a William Ross may be a mistake, or a relationship between Ross and Rees has yet to be identified. Participants not mentioned in the APC were added here for clarity. Information about these participants was obtained from related primary and other sources. |
