Transcription
Read from the image (line breaks not kept). In the last paragraph the compositor transposed two lines, printed here as they stand with the line breaks marked "|": "Vin-" ends one line and "cent Townson" begins the line after next; with the two lines restored to order the list reads "Messrs Vincent Townson, James Holbrook, Turner Jordan, Sam Smith, Kenneth Gregg, Bennett English, Roy Ferguson, Lorenzo Bragan ...". The clipping ends at "Lorenzo"; the names in square brackets after it lie below its lower edge (the next line is partly visible: "B..., J... F..., Ellis Cauley") and are not checked against the print.
