10,443. Did you receive a citation to-day?-From a boy.
10,444. From a messenger from me?-Yes.
10,445. Did he tell you he had been sent from here?-He said he got it from Mr. White.
10,446. In reply to that, you wrote saying that you did not think that was intended for you either?-No.
10,447. Or that you received it too late, and that you did not know whether you were bound to come?-Yes. I took witnesses to see what time it was when I got it.
10,448. Are you the principal storekeeper to Spence & Co. at Haroldswick?-Yes.
10,449. Have you anything to do with the purchases of hosiery which are made at that shop?-We don't deal in it.
10,450. At the shop you do not; but Mrs. John Spence, who is not able to attend here to-day, has some dealings in hosiery?-We never see her buy hosiery in the shop, to my knowledge.
10,451. Do you not know that she buys hosiery in her house?-I hear that she buys hosiery, but I never saw her do so.
10,452. Have you ever received lines from her directing you to supply goods to parties from whom she has bought hosiery?-I have received lines from her to supply value for so much, but not stating that it was for hosiery. It might have been for anything.
