8315. Do you want to get money?-I hardly ever ask for money. I asked for a penny the last time out of 35s., and they refused to give it to me. I bought all that I could buy out of the work I had taken in and when it came to the last penny I asked for it, but they would not give it. That was at Mr. Linklater's.
8316. What did he say he would give it in: sweeties?-No; they would not keep any sweeties for fear of having to give them.
8317. What did they give you?-They gave me the penny at length, but they said we must take goods.
8318. Did you need all these goods for your own use?-I needed them all at that time, but I don't need them all now. If I knit any, I need hardly any goods now.
8319. If you were knitting now, you would rather have the money?-Yes; because I am needing hardly anything else.
8320. Do you live with your parents?-Yes.
8321. I suppose you would like to help them a little in keeping the house if you could get money for your knitting?-Yes; because my father is an old man, and is very sickly, and he is not able to keep the house as he used to do.
8322. Is it the case that you cannot help him because you cannot get money for your knitting?-Yes; I cannot help him in that way.
8323. Have you ever given away any of the goods you have got to your neighbours for money or for provisions?-No; I kept them all to myself.
8324. Do you sell the cloth you make in the same way that Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Williamson have stated?-Yes.
