9274. Had you some land there afterwards?-Yes. I had some for two years before I left.
9275. Were you told then that you were bound to fish for Mr. Robertson?-Yes. The Sheriff told me that at the same time that he told Johnston.
9276. Were you both together at the time?-No.
9277. Had you both been sent for at the same time?-There was a meeting in a place near Lunna, and the whole tenantry were told that they were to be under one control, and to fish for Mr. Robertson. I think that meeting was held in the schoolroom. I think both Sheriff Bell and Mr. Robertson were present.
9278. Did Mr. Bell tell you that he expected you all to fish for Mr. Robertson?-Yes.
9279. What else did he say?-I was not very old then, and I don't remember.
9280. Why did you leave Lunna?-I was in a double family, and I thought the place I was in was too small for the whole of us; therefore I thought I would try to look out for some place in which to live.
9281. You did not leave it because you wanted your freedom?- Not altogether.
9282. Had you been fined for selling your fish anywhere else?- No.
9283. Do you know any other man in Lunna who was fined for that except Johnston?-I don't remember of any.
