2114. You did not tell me before that was the way in which you dealt?-I thought I did. You asked me if I had a pass-book, and I said it was just marked into the book.
2115. I rather understood that a settlement was made with you each time you took in your work?-No, we have an account.
2116. And that £2, 15s. was marked into it?-Yes.
2117. You did not take any goods at that time?-I hardly think it; but I really forget.
2118. Did you get any money at that time?-I don't think it.
2119. Did you ask for money?-No; and it was merely because I did not ask for it that I did not get it.
