	1861 Looks like Clerk in Crown Office of HM Ct 2B I would guess that Ct is short for Court maybe? Her Majesty's Court 2B? Although what this is exactly is another matter! Just going to have a look at the 1871 entry. Mandy :)

	1871 is Clerk in CS (Crown Office 2B). I'm fairly sure that CS would be Civil Service. Mandy :)
