deliberate upon any matter, and the third, if notified, does not attend,

as valid as though it were the conclusion, order, act or proceeding of
the three; and a recital of the two in their minute of the conclusion,
act or proceeding, or in their order, act or proceeding of the fact of
such notice, or of such meeting and deliberation, shall be conclusive
evidence thereof.
