4187. Have you any reason to know that you would not?-Yes, I have reason to know that, because if we were buying anything out of their shops we would not get any reduction on the price
4188. Even although you were offering money?-Yes.
4189. Have you gone there with money?-Yes, I have gone with money, but very little. I scarcely ever go to their shops with money if I have it.
4190. Have you ever exchanged any of the goods that you got for your knitting?-No, I have never done that.
4191. You have always wanted them for your own use, or for the use of your family?-Yes.
4192. Have you taken goods from other people which they had got in exchange for their hosiery?-No.
4193. Have you known anybody who did so?-No; I cannot say any person who has done it.
4194. Is that all you came here to say?-I think a very proper thing would be that we should have a little money, if not the whole, for our knitting. It would be a good thing if we could get even the half of it in money.
4195. Did you ever try to get one-half in money?-I only asked for money once-it was a very trifling sum, only 6d.-and I was refused it.
4196. Was that when you had sold your knitting to Mr. Linklater?-No; I was knitting to him at that time with his own worsted.
