N.B. Plate 2 was never registered or used. Plate 3 was registered but never used in printing from.

Plate 1 therefore was the only registered and used plate.

When it was registered on the 5th April 1867 it was noted that its layout was out of square and it was lightly inked. It was accepted as registered but the plate was then cut up and laid out squarer
The Plate was printed again and a second registration print (Heavily inked) of the plate was accepted on the 5th July 1867, so that it has 2 fully registered imprimatur copies.
