8594. Was that because you had an account there?-Yes.
8595. And it was more convenient for you sometimes to deal upon credit?-Yes.
8596. I suppose you would get a larger advance in goods at that shop than you would have got if you were to ask money?-I don't know; I only asked for goods when I was needing them.
8597. But if you had asked money with which to go and buy your goods elsewhere, would you have got it?-I cannot say, for I never asked it.
8598. Have you heard the evidence of Robertson and Wood, and the other fishermen who have been examined to-day?-Yes.
8599. Have you anything different to say from what they said about the system of dealing among the fishermen here?-No.
8600. Have you known fishermen changing from one employment to another?-I have.
8601. Have you done that yourself?-No.
8602. You have always fished for Mr. Adie?-Yes.
8603. What is the general reason for the men shifting?-I don't know. I suppose it is because they think they will be better.
