13,965. Have you got any supplies since November from the Vidlin shop?-Yes.
13,966. Are the supplies of the men sometimes stopped when they get too deep in debt?-Yes.
13,967. Are they then put upon a certain allowance?-Yes.
13,968. Is that a common thing about Vidlin?-I cannot say for any one but myself. I have been put upon an allowance; but I cannot say how much it was, because it was my family who always got it.
13,969. I see that in your book on June 14, 21, and 28, there are entries on each of these dates of 24 lbs. oatmeal, and 3s. 81/2d. for flour; was that your allowance?-I believe so.
13,970. There are similar entries on July 5 and 12, and there is no other entry till 26th July, when you got double the quantity, but it is entered in a different form?-Yes.
13,971. Did you understand that you were on an allowance all last summer?-Yes.
13,972. Was that done with the view of reducing the amount of your debt?-Certainly.
13,973. And it is considerably reduced now?-Yes.
