I, Martin Waterman, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear, that the within REPORT and LIST, subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the District of Plymouth contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the names, age, sex, and occupation of all the passengers, together with the name of the country to which they severally belong, and that of which they intend to become inhabitants, which were on board the Brig Herald, whereof I am at present Master, at the time of her sailing from the Port of Antwerp or which have at any time since been taken on board said vessel. And I do likewise swear, that all matters whatsoever in said Report and List expressed, are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, just and true. So help me God. (Signed) Martin Waterman. Sworn to before me, this 22nd day of May 1829. (Transcriber's note: not certain if Collector signed this statement; only part of it was found with the list.)
