4540. How many others were there in the boat?-There were six.
4541. Then, to account in Grutness, £3, 8s. 21/2d., to cash, £10, 15s. 81/2d.; in all £19, 4s. 31/2d.: that was the whole of your account for that year?-Yes.
4542. Have you anything to say about the prices of the things you get at Grutness store?-They are rather above the figure usually paid for the same things in other parts of the country.
4543. Have you compared the prices there with the prices at which you can get the same articles elsewhere?-Yes; for instance of meal.
4544. Have you bought meal there?-Yes.
4545. Was it entered in the account you have shown me?-Yes; but all my account at the shop, whatever it was for, was entered in that account in one slump sum, so that the price cannot be distinguished from that. There are no details given there of the shop account.
4546. Were the details of that account read over to you?-Yes; or I read it over.
4547. Did you find it to be correct?-Yes, generally.
4548. But you think the meal was charged higher than it could be got for elsewhere?-I am sure of it.
4549. Do you remember what price it was charged at?-Yes.
