5061. So that they had not above four hours' sleep at this time?
No, they had not.
5062. For how long together was it?
About six weeks it held; it was only done when the throng was very much on; it was not often that.
5063. The common hours of labour were from 6 in the morning till half-past eight at night?
Yes.
5064. With the same intervals for food?
Yes, just the same.
5065. Were the children excessively fatigued by this labour?
Many times; we have cried often when we have given them the little victualling we had to give them; we had to shake them, and they have fallen to sleep with the victuals in their mouths many a time.
