338. Is it his worsted you work?-Yes.
339. And he pays you so much for the work you put upon it?- Yes.
340. What is the value of the work you put upon the veil?-The last veils I made I got 9d. apiece for them.
341. Does what you get for them depend upon the size of the veils?-A good deal. These were the largest veils of all.
342. Then you will sometimes make four or five of them in a week?-I just made three of these. They were large ones.
343. How often do you get settled with for your work?-We have a pass-book, and the merchant lets it go on until he thinks we have got goods up to the value we have knitted for. He then makes up the book. [Produces pass-book in name of Harriet Brown, and another in name of Amelia Brown.] These are my sisters. One book served for the whole of us.
344. Did any one tell you to come here and bring those books?- No; I just heard what was to be done, and I came of my own accord.
345. These books contain the goods which you have purchased from Mr. Linklater?-Yes.
346. The last one begins on April 16; 1870, and is added up in January 1871. The amount at your credit is £5, 5s. 2d.: what does that mean?-It means, that we have knitted articles to that amount, and we have also got goods of that value. That was a square balance. The articles we have knitted bringing out that sum, are entered in a separate account at the end of the same book.
347. Is that account the same as appears in Mr. Linklater's books?-Yes.
