13,847. Do they come round in the course of the season and attempt to buy fish from you?-There is one or two of them in Skerries. Mr. Adie is there.
13,848. But he is not a yagger?-No> John Hughson is also there. Thomas Hughson was there for a while.
13,849. Who does Hughson act for?-John Hughson has only one boat; but I believe he would buy fish from any one if he could get them.
13,850. Where does Hughson live?-John Hughson lives at Coppister, in the south-west part of Yell; and he has a man in Skerries who cures some fish for him. I think they are in partnership in some way.
13,851. What is the name of the man in Skerries?-I cannot say.
13,852. Have you seen men selling their fish to Hughson's factor in Skerries?-No.
13,853. But you know that he is ready to buy them-I hear that.
13,854. Do you think that a man selling his fish to these men, or to any other yagger, would lose his farm?-I don't know.
13,855. But you don't sell to these people yourself, for fear of losing your farm?-I wish to serve the man that I am bound to, and to sell all my fish to him, so far as I can.
13,856. Are you bound to fish for him by your own free will?-I believe it is the landlord who has bound me, but I cannot say.
