Title from first line of letter press, above coat of arms., An admission ticket for the fifteenth day of the trial of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville; the impeachment trial took place in Westminster Hall in April-June 1806., Engraved arms of the Great Chamberlain printed in sepia at center, with title printed in letterpress above., and "Dundas" written in black ink below coat of arms on recto. The letterpress form on the verso has been annotated with the name of "Miss Dundas" on the line for "The daughter of a Peeress in her own right"; this name may refer to either Elizabeth (1766-1852) or Anne (1768-1852). One corner of ticket (5.5 x 5.5 cm) has been neatly cut away, a lacuna that is explained by a later pencil note asserting that the corner had been cut away at the door when presented.
