1. Cork Constitution 24/8/1847 – ‘Deaths in quarantine at St. John’s, from the 7th May to 2nd July, 1847.’ (Lieut. Friend, the Government Emigration Agent in Cork queried some of the surnames returned to him, see note in list ‘quere.’ He also added addresses for some of the passengers on the list:-
‘(CC 24/8/1847) EMIGRANTS - Lieut. Friend has obliged us with the following letter; but we find it not so easy as we supposed to obtain the information which our Correspondent wished for. The unhappy habits of our peasantry – the propensity to fraud – the custom of making their escape with the landlord’s rent in their pockets, induce many of them to seek safety in disguise, and to enter themselves on the Passengers’ Lists by assumed names. In those cases it is impossible to trace their families or to remit to them any money that may be found on the deceased. The loss is one of the penalties paid for the lack of moral principle among our people.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK CONSTITUTION - SIR – Observing your Bandon Correspondent’s letter with Editorial remarks, in your last publication, and being fully aware of the anxiety which exists relative to the casualties which have so diastrously occurred on board Emigrant Vessels from this port, I beg to inform you that no list of the deaths on board ships has yet reached me, but the New Brunswick Courier of 10th of July gives the names of such as died in hospital at Partridge Island, from 7th May to 2d. July, which I herewith send, but from the evident incorrectness of that list, when compared with the names on the Passengers’ Lists, at my office, I did not think it right to publish it. Unfortunately the practice of giving assumed names and residences to the brokers, and inserted in their lists, renders it difficult to identify many of the parties.
With one exception, no money has been remitted me for the friends of those who have died, but I do not doubt but the Authorities in New Brunswick and Quebec will do all that can be done in securing what property they may be possessed of at their death to their surviving relatives.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES FRIEND, L.R.N.
Government Emigration Office, Cove, August 21st, 1847
We wish we could furnish more correct and satisfactory information on a subject that naturally excites so much anxiety, but we are sorry to say it is not in our power.’
