1707. Do you live with your own family?-Yes; with my mother.
1708. Do you get part of the payment for your shawls and veils in money?-Yes; whenever I ask money I get it. I never asked a shilling from Mr. Sinclair himself but that I always got it.
1709. When you got money for a shawl, how was it entered in the book?-I cannot say anything about that.
1710. If you were to take two veils to Mr. Sinclair and ask the money for them, do you think you would get it?-I cannot say, because I never asked it; but whenever I asked for a small quantity of money, such as 2s. or the like of that, I got it.
1711. What quantity of goods did you generally take at a time?-I cannot say that either. I don't think I ever had money to get out of his book. I was always due him something, and in that way I could not ask him for money.
1712. Then your account was larger than the value of the articles which you took to him?-Yes.
1713. If that was so, did you ever ask him for money at all?-Yes; sometimes, when I was in a strait for money I asked him for a little, and I got it.
1714. Then that was an advance, which he made when there was nothing due to you?-Yes; I have asked him for money when I was due him.
1715. But you don't know how that was entered in the pass-book, or whether it was entered there at all?-No; I don't think it was entered.
1716. I see there are entries in your pass-book: April 28, 1871, cash 1s.; April 26, cash 6d.: is that the way the money was entered?-Yes.
