Total souls: 371 Deaths : 44
Including 69 from England, 48 from Scotland, 3 from Ireland, being a total of 120 males of the age 15 years and upwards. Columns represent: surname, first name, age, spouse present, # children, occupation, origin and remarks
Compare : ISTG Brothers Pride The passenger list was printed in The Lyttelton Times on the 8th than again on the 10th so this accounts for some of the variation in the surname spelling. e.g. Bewton / Banton, Beel / Bell, M'Lennan / McTennan. The total cost of passage money to the Provincial Government for the majority each single man and woman was £13 and 6 shillings.

The Lyttelton Times Thursday, December 10, 1863
On Tuesday last we briefly noticed the arrival of this vessel at the heads, and although we possessed the information since proved to be too true respecting the amount of sickness aboard, for the sake of friends on shore we refrained from publishing the melancholy intelligence that 44 deaths occurred during the passage. In our columns will be found a list of the sufferers, as well as a number of births. We hear that Captain Sproul, on boarding the vessel, was refused the charge of the ship, and the offer of the pilot to place his boat and crew at the service of the ship to obtain fresh supplies for the sick children was also refused. On Tuesday evening the anchor was raised, and sail made before half a gale wind blowing from the S.W., and at daylight next morning the vessel was out of sight. She returned yesterday morning when off Camp Bay, and was immediately ordered to hoist the Yellow Jack. This peremptory order of the Health Commissioner not appearing to suit this cavalier officer, in two or three hours the anchor was again up, and with the assistance of the light breeze from the N.E., the Brother's Pride was brought up just astern of the Lancashire Witch. We presume the authorities will not permit their orders to be set at defiance, and the law treated with contempt.

We append the list of Births, Marriages and Deaths on board the Brother's Pride:-
