5856. Do you deal with Mr. Adie's store at Voe to any great extent?-Yes.
5857. Do you take your goods from Voe to Sullem?-Yes.
5858. Is not that a long way to carry them?-It is.
5859. Could you not get them as good nearer home?-We could get them much the same but not better. If I want goods, Mr. Adie will either send them to me, or I may sometimes get the chance of a boat coming my way.
5860. How far is it from Sullem to Voe?-Perhaps from eight to nine miles.
5861. Are there shops nearer to you than that?-Yes; there is a shop at Brae, and there is also a shop to the northward.
5862. Can you get goods as cheap at these shops as at Mr. Adie's?-Much the same.
5863. Do you deal as much at these shops as at Mr. Adie's?-No; I deal more with Mr. Adie than with them.
5864. Is that because you have an account with Mr. Adie?-Yes.
5865. Do you know whether there is any difference between the prices in the shop at Voe and at other places?-I see no great difference. I have tried other places; and if there was any difference at all, it would be that I could get an article at Mr. Adie's perhaps a little cheaper than at other places.
