7060. I suppose the fishermen have nothing to do with fixing the price of the fish?-No; it has not been customary for them to have anything to do with that.
7061. It has been the practice to leave it altogether to the fish merchant?-Yes; so far as ever I knew.
7062. Are there any complaints about the way in which the price is fixed?-There certainly are some men who make it grievance of it; but they are men who would not be satisfied if the thing were done in any other way.
7063. What do you think about it yourself?-I cannot say.
7064. Have you no opinion about it at all?-Very little. It does not concern me much. I have got too old now to be able to do anything in the way of changing it.
7065. Do any of your family knit?-Yes; but that is it thing I don't interfere with.
7066. Is it usual for the father of a family not to interfere with his wife and daughters' account for hosiery?-They manage their own affairs and their accounts themselves and we never interfere with them in any way.
7067. Do they sometimes help to keep the house?-Yes; in every way they can.
7068. But do they sometimes help with their hosiery to provide for the house?-Yes; occasionally, when it falls in their way.
7069. In this part of the country I understand they get provisions for their hosiery?-Yes; to a certain extent, when required.
