And we further certify that We furnished each master of a Vessel with a Certified List of the Negroes on board the Vessell and informed him that he would not be permitted to Land in Nova Scotia any other Negroes than those contained on the List and that if any other negroes were found on board the Vessel he would be severely punished and that We informed the Agent for the Transports of this matter and desired him to use means for returning back to this place all negroes not mentioned in the List.
