13,375. Then why had he to pay liberty money?-I don't know. Perhaps it may have been on account of his son, but I cannot say.
13,376. Would any transaction of that kind take place with Mr. Grierson and not with you?-It might.
13,377. Do you know Charles Eunson?-Yes.
13,378. Had he to pay liberty money in 1867?-I cannot say; I have only been three years in Mr. Grierson's employ,
13,379. Is Brough on the Quendale estate?-Yes.
13,380. Do you know James Shewan, who lives on the Brough property?-Yes.
13,381. Whom did he fish for last year?-I think he cured fish for himself. He was fishing at Scatness, and I think he delivered his fish to Hay & Co.; but I am not sure.
13,382. Had he to pay £1 of liberty money at last settlement?- Yes.
13,383. Was that in January 1872?-I think it was before January; but he paid it at the settlement.
13,384. Have there been other cases of liberty money being exacted and paid in 1871 and 1872?-There has been one other case besides Shewan's.
