16,120. Then you could say quite positively that for a shawl of 25 scores, knitted with 31/2d. worsted, and measuring 21/4 yards, you got 12s. in goods?-Yes.
16,121. Do you ever sell shawls to any persons except the merchants?-No.
16,122. When did you last take any veils to the shop?-I think it was the week before last. I got 9d. each for them; they were knitted with Scotch wool. When they are coarse, there is less paid for knitting than when they are fine.
16,123. Were these coarse veils?-No, they were ordinary quality. The worsted was not the very coarsest.
16,124. Do you know what was the value of the worsted per cut?-I cannot say.
16,125. Who did you sell them to?-To Mr. Robert Linklater.
16,126. Do you know what you would pay for them at the shop?- I think it would be about 2s. or 2s. 6d.
16,127. Would you go and buy one of them and bring it to me here?-Yes.
