15,409. Does he keep the post office?-No; but they put the money into his hands, and most of it has been taken out in truck. He refuses to give me any money except a mere trifle.
15,410. Whom did you make your bargain about these paupers with?-One was with Mr. Johnston of Lerwick, and the other was with Mr. Bruce at Urrafirth.
15,411. Do you not receive post-office orders or money from Mr. Bruce or Mr. Johnston for the maintenance of these paupers?-It comes to Mr. Greig; I cannot say how it comes.
15,412. Have you ever asked that the money should be sent to you direct?-No.
15,413. Is Mr. Greig a member of the parochial board of Northmaven parish?-I believe he is.

15,415. How does he happen to pay you money for Lerwick parish?-They send it to him.
15,416. Have you ever asked him for the whole of that money in cash?-No.
15,417. Why?-Because he seemed that he would not pay it in cash.
