McNamara, and Anne Hennessey, were put on the ship passenger manifest
on entering at the Custom House as Steerage passengers by mistake;
they having come in the Cabin of said vessel.

Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due
 to the condition of the original document.

*The port of embarkation is shown as Limerick and Liverpool. Perhaps
 the voyage started at Limerick, then went to Liverpool and finally on
 to New York.

*Cannot read a couple of words at the heading of the note at the 
 bottom of the Manifest nor the last name of the Notary Public.

  4---Cabin Passenger---See note at end of Manifest.
 23---Cabin Passenger---See note at end of Manifest.
 78---Cabin Passenger---See note at end of Manifest.
 80---Cabin Passenger---See note at end of Manifest.
 90---Cabin Passenger---See note at end of Manifest.
 92---This passenger's name is crossed out with the notation  
      "Not Going". Apparently got cold feet at the last minute.
