6150. If she has such a balance, is it settled in goods?-I cannot answer that. If she wanted money she might get it, for anything that I know.
6151. Do you pay a subscription to the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society?-Yes; 8s. a year.
6152. Have you ever lost any lines or a boat?-No.

6154. Was that all you have had to get from it?-Yes.
6155. Do you know of any people who have been turned out of their land in Shetland?-Not in our district.
6156. Do you know of any who have been turned out elsewhere?-Yes; Mr. Walker turned out some Delting, on Major Cameron's estate.
6157. What was that for?-Because he wanted the land. Some of them were very anxious to sit if they could have done so, but I suppose they could not comply with his terms.
6158. Were these men fishermen?-Yes.
