The first note mentioned jurors had concerns about one member of the panel not following the judge's instructions.
"We have a juror, number 25, who we are concerned cannot follow your honour's instructions," the note said.
Judge Arun Subramanian said all the jurors should follow his instructions stringently.
The second note requested clarification on the section of the instructions which addressed drug distribution, and was addressed and deliberations continued. This was sent several hours after the first note.

Music mogul Combs has been charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Judge Subramanian ended the first day of deliberations on Monday saying: "Continue to keep an open mind.
"With that I wish you a very pleasant evening."
There have been no cameras in court throughout the trial as it is being held in a federal court, so court sketches have helped to highlight the atmosphere each day.
The second day of deliberations are underway.
