9799. Then you go with the line into the shop and get what goods you want?-Yes. The line is addressed to Messrs. Spence & Co., and signed by her, and the which is due is written upon it.
9800. Is that always the way in which you are paid?-Yes.
9801. How often do you go with work to Mrs. Spence?-Perhaps once a month; just when my work is finished.
9802. Have you generally 15s. or 20s. to get?-Perhaps from 10s. to 12s.
9803. How much do you get for knitting a shawl of fine worsted?-The highest is 12s. There are thirty-three cuts of worsted given out to me for knitting a shawl of 30 scores. I think the price of the worsted is 3d. or 4d. a cut, but I never bought any myself.
9804. When you do not get provisions or groceries, but take soft goods for your knitting, do you go to the shop for them, or do you get them from Mrs. Spence herself?-I get them from the shop.
9805. Have you knitted for any person except Mrs. Spence?-I have done a little for John Johnston; but I am paid in the same way there, in goods.
9806. Do you get no lines there?-No.
9807. You just take the article to the shop and get the goods you want?-Yes.
9808. How do you manage when you are to pay your rent?-I have no rent to pay. I have a house of my own.
