377. When you take your work back to Mr. Linklater, are you paid for it in money or in goods?-In goods.
378. Do you sometimes ask for money?-Yes.
379. What has he said to you when you asked for money?-He says he never gives it, and that he won't give it to me. I got 2s. from him today; but that is all I ever got, except, I think, one sixpence before. I also got the offer of a pass-book to-day. I had never been offered one before.
380. Was it after you had seen me this forenoon that you got the 2s. and the offer of the pass-book?-Yes.
381. When you get your worsted, is there a bargain made between the merchant and you about the payment you are to receive for the work?-No. I have just an idea what I think the thing will come to; and then, when I come back with it, he gives me what he likes.
382. You don't make any bargain beforehand?-No.
383. But you might do so if liked?-He won't do it. I have asked him, but he said he would see the thing when I came back with it.
384. I suppose, he wants to see the quality of the work before he pays for it?-Yes.

385. Did you take the pass-book that was offered you today?-No.
