1024. Was it paid back to you?-Yes; it was paid back to me for my son.
1025. Then the money you mentioned just now as having been paid by you for your son was paid back to you?-Yes; it was paid back to me afterwards.
1026. How long afterwards?-I think about a year and a half.
1027. Did you ask for it to be paid back?-Yes; I asked it over and over again before I got it. I think I asked for it two or three times, if I remember right.
1028. Did they give it back to you as a favour?-Yes.
1029. Was the amount of liberty money fixed in the obligation which you signed?-Yes.
1030. Did you get a copy of that obligation?-No.
1031. Have you been spoken to about that obligation since you signed it, and told that it was in force?-Never, except when they charged liberty money. I objected to pay it; and their answer was, that I had signed an obligation to pay it, and therefore that I was obliged to do so.
1032. Do you know any one else who has paid liberty money within the last year or two?-Yes; Andrew Laurenson paid it for his brother.
1033. Is Laurenson here?-No.
