This passenger listing contained no sworn statement. As the heading indicates, it's a quarterly report.

The passenger list contains eleven columns. They are headed as follows: 1,Date; 2,Vessel's Name; 3,Master's Name; 4,Where from; 5,Passenger's Name; 6,Age; 7,Sex; 8,Occupation; 9,Country in which they belong; 10, Country in which they intend to become inhabitants; 11,Died. Columns one through four have been deleted from this transcription because the information is stated above. Column eleven has also been deleted because it is void of notation. The Occupation column notes the passenger's occupation only where stated. The remaining lines of the column are void of notation and so appear on this transcription.

Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an extra note on the passenger is below.
 
?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the
   quality if the original document.

#23 - This gentleman's first name looks to be abbreviated, (Phot). It's written
      clear enough but the original recorder could have  misspelled it.
#26 - This lady's first name (Eliza) was clearly written on the copy of the
      manifest used to transcribe this ship. However, it seemed unusual to this
      writer as I've never heard of it, so I took the time to investigate. The
      name was verified as a Girls name in the book The Complete Book of Baby
      Names Traditional and Modern by Hilary Spence.
#29 - Ms. Willis's first name was not noted on the original Passenger list.
#31 - See an explanation of this child's first name in the paragraph for
      passenger # 26.
