Official records of proceedings oddly mislaid, fancy that! (4)
I believe the answer is:
acta
This clue could be a double definition.
'official records' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'proceedings oddly mislaid fancy that' is the second definition.
'acta' can be an answer for 'proceedings' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acta that I've seen before include "minutes of official proceedings" , "records" .)
