Brae, January 13, 1872, MRS GRACE WILLIAMSON, examined.
8253. Do you live in Muckle Roe?-Yes.
8254. Do you knit and also make cloth?-Yes.
8255. Have you heard what Mrs. Johnston said just now?-Yes.
8256. Have you the same way of dealing about your cloth which she has described?-No. I do not make any cloth except with what little wool I have of my own, and I sell it. I am paid for it just at the price which is going.
