I, S. Ellis, Master of the Schr G. Banker, do
solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest,
subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of
the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect List of all the

and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant;
and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers
