13,867. What kind of goods do you get at Vidlin?-Meal or tea, or anything I want.
13,868. Do you get most of them there?-No; I only get a part.
13,869. Does it depend upon whether you have a balance in your favour, or cash in your hands, that you go to Vidlin?-I sometimes go for credit and sometimes for cash.
13,870. Do you get your goods at the same price there, whether you get them on account or pay cash?-I believe I do.
13,871. Is that [showing] your pass-book with Mr. Robertson at Vidlin?-Yes. The account is kept with Mr. Robert Sutherland, the shopkeeper there. I also produce an old account for 1864.
13,872. Do you always keep a pass-book?-No; only at times. I got that account just after the settlement. I thought it rather too heavy, and I wished a copy of it; but I cannot say whether it is accurate or not.
13,873. Did you get a discount when you complained about the account being too high?-I don't remember; but I have sometimes got a small discount.
13,874. Is the settlement at Vidlin generally in December?-It is generally after Martinmas, sometimes sooner and sometimes later.
13,875. We need not go back so far as 1864. Have you ever got an account like that since?-No; I think that was the heaviest account I ever had.
13,876. You never disputed the rates you were charged since then?-No, I never disputed them.
