416. Then what was the whole sum due to you day?-I think it was £1, 2s. 6d.
417. Why did you not get your money or goods the last time you went in?-I sent the articles in then; I did not come myself.
418. So that there was no opportunity of settling with you before today?-No.
419. How much money did you ask for to-day?-I asked for 2s., and I got it.
420. Did you not want more?-I did not ask more and I don't think I would have got more if I had asked it. That was the reason why I did not ask it; because Mr. Linklater does not make it his practice give money.
421. Then when you go in any day to the merchant, you just say, 'Here is your shawl,' and you ask how much you are to get for it?-Yes.
422. What is his answer?-He just mentions whatever he likes to give.
423. But he gives you a fair value for the work, does he?-Yes; sometimes.
424. Do you think he puts too low a value on your work?-Yes; I often think that.
425. Do you think there is anything very unreasonable in the value he puts upon it?-Yes; sometimes I do.
