6413. Is that account settled in money or goods?-In goods. I don't believe he has ready money to get; he is due something.
6414. Is he generally due something?-Yes; he has been due something for a while.
6415. Is it generally for Mr. Anderson that he works?-Only sometimes.
6416. When he works for other people, is he paid in money?- Yes; when he works for Mr. Sutherland, or any man who has no shop, he gets ready money.
6417. But if he works for any one who has a shop, is he paid in goods?-He does not work for any one who has a shop, except Mr. Anderson.
6418. And he is not paid in money for that because he is due Mr. Anderson an account?-His work is put into the account, and he gets what he needs for the house.
6419. How many years has he been in that position?-I cannot say; I have not been settling for him.
6420. Has he been working in this neighbourhood for a number of years?-Yes; we came here from Lerwick about 1858.
6421. When did you begin to get into debt?-I cannot say, because my husband was at the fishing then.
6422 Is it long since he got into debt?-It is some years; but I cannot say how many, because I have not been settling his account.
