Transcriber's Notes:
This list is very faint and had to be transcribed directly from the film.
*The first column, titled "Permitted to land at any place" has the entry 
  "Port Newcastle" at the beginning of the column and no other entries 
  following.
*The second column, "Put on board, or suffered to go on board any other 
  Vessel, with intention as above said," has no entries and is not 
  included in the transcription above. 
*Remarks: Baggage is listed in this column as follows:  Alexander Tennent 
  and S.A. Washington bracketed together with entry "with their baggage 
  & ?".
Passengers Sas??asse?, Rupenthal, Kinklin and Jung EACH have a ditto 
  under baggage, thus also indicating that each was "with their baggage 
  & ?".  W. Kraut has listed here, "8 tubs grape vine Ha?gye".  The 
  Sciana family is bracketed with the remark, "One family with their
  beds baggage ??? ????? 
*Sas??asse? appears to be Sasawasse?.  His "Last Legal Settlement" 
  starts with a small "b" followed by four tall lines that are crossed 
  like "t's".  
*N?nciata could be Nisciata or Nunciata.  
*Jaques Bo?si is most likely "Bossi" with the backward "f" as the first 
  "s" but this letter could also be a "j".  I could not fairly determine 
  the number of letters in his place of birth.
*The Last Legal Settlement for Jean Sciana and family: The ? is probably 
  a "C" but could be an "H". 
  Jean Sciana from "?eva" may be from Ceva a little town in Piedmont 
  (Italy) not so far from the French border and Marseilles.  
*Adele Sciana's age is listed as "3 months".
*This list bears the signature of Jacob Adams in "Remarks" following the 
  last entry.
