1852. Do you keep a pass-book?-No; I never had a pass-book with him.
1853. Are you paid in the same way both for your own shawls that you sell, and for those that you knit for him?-No; generally when I knit a shawl for Mr. Sinclair, he allows me so much for the knitting of it; but when I sell a shawl, I price it myself.
1854. Is that price paid in the same way that the wages are paid to you for knitting?-No.
1855. Is it paid to you in money in both cases; or in goods?-It is paid in goods in both cases.
1856. Is there not a certain part of it, in both cases, that you can get money for?-Yes. When I knitted for Mr. Sinclair before I was married, he generally gave me money whenever I asked for it; but since I had a house of my own, I generally manage my affairs so that I do not have to ask him for money. I usually take clothes for my children and myself from him without getting money at all; but if I did ask him for money, I have no doubt he would give it to me.
1857. Have you always got money when you asked for it?-Yes; whenever I asked I got it.
1858. Do you generally take the whole value of your shawls in goods?-Yes, I always do.
1859. And no money passes between you at all?-No, not since I was married; but previously, when I asked him for money, I always got it.
1860. Did you generally ask for a considerable part of the price of your shawls in money?-Yes.
1861. How much might you get out of a 20s. shawl, for instance?- Perhaps I might have asked him for 2s. or 2s, 6d., and so on, money.
