9226. You thought you could make a better thing of it by fishing for Mr. Adie, and you went to him?-Yes.
9227. What happened in consequence of that?-Nothing happened, except that I must either be bound to fish for Mr. Robertson or leave the property.
9228. Were you told that you must leave the property?-Yes; the Sheriff himself told me that.
9229. Was Mr. Robertson his factor or his tacksman?-His tacksman.
9230. To whom did you pay your rent at Lunna?-To Mr. Robertson when he came to be tacksman, but the Sheriff before that.
9231. Who first told you that you were to leave your ground at Lunna?-The Sheriff himself.
9232. When was that?-The year before I left. That was nine years ago.
9233. Was that when you had first engaged with Mr. Adie?-No. I fished for two years for Mr. Robertson after that, after I removed to Yell.
9234. Then why did you leave Lunna? I thought you told me it was because you engaged with Mr. Adie that you were turned out of your ground there?-No; it was not because I engaged with Mr. Adie. It was because I would not fish for Mr. Robertson.
9235. Why did you fish for Mr. Robertson for two years after that, although you were not bound?-We were fishing then at our own freedom.
