Boston with a large list of passengers,
most of them evicted Irish tenants from
the counties of Galway, Mayo, Derry
and Donegal, sent out by the British
Government The British agent furn-
ished money to those who desired to 20
to places beyond Boston, the amounts
depending on the size Of the family
varying from few shillings to five or
six pounds. Here seems to be fine OPP
