387. Did you not want it?-I thought I would not mind it to-day, as I had never had one before. 388. Do you remember the last time before to-day when you went to Mr. Linklater with some of your work?-Yes. 389. How much was due to you at that time?-I think he was due me about £1. 390. That would be for more than one shawl?-Yes; it was for some veils about four months ago. I have made two shawls for him since, and some veils. 391. But the last time you went with your work, how much was due you?-I think there would be about £1. 392. Did you ask for money then?-Yes. 393. Who did you ask it from?-Mr. Linklater. 394. Was it from Mr. Linklater himself, or one of his people?-It was either from Mr. Linklater or from Mr. Anderson; I don't remember which. 395. What was said to you?-He just said that he would not give it, as he never gave any. 396. What goods did you get?-Some stuff for a dress, and some tea and cotton. 397. Had you made up your mind before you went there as to what you wanted to buy?-Yes. 398. And you got what you wanted?-I had to take what he had. I had no other chance. 399. Did you want these goods at that time?-If I had got the money, I would not have bought them at that time. 400. What would you have done with the money?-I would have bought grocery things-things that he did not have. 401. How do you get provisions when you want them?-My mother has a farm, and I work with her. 402. You sometimes work out-of-doors?-Yes. 403. How do you pay your rent for the farm?-My mother sometimes sells an animal, and pays the rent with the price. 404. To whom does she sell these animals?-To any one she can get to buy them. I don't know any one particularly to whom she sells them. 405. Whose ground are you on?-Mr. Bruce of Sand Lodge. 406. Is there any one in your family who goes to the fishing?-No; my brothers are all in the south. 407. Do you sometimes exchange for provisions the goods you get from Mr. Linklater for your hosiery?-No; I always get provisions home with me without changing them. 408. How is that? Have you some money?-Yes. It is by the farm that we have it. 409. Have you ever had occasion to exchange your goods for provisions?-No. 410. Do you know whether that is a common practice in your district?-I don't know. 411. Have you ever received a line instead of goods?-No. 412. Have you ever asked for a line?-No. 413. You say that to-day you took a shawl to Mr. Linklater, which he had ordered, and that you got from him along with goods?- Yes. 414. What was the value put upon the shawl?-10s.; but I had had a shawl in with him before and some veils since I was in the town last. 415. Had these been paid for?-No. 416. Then what was the whole sum due to you day?-I think it was £1, 2s. 6d. 417. Why did you not get your money or goods the last time you went in?-I sent the articles in then; I did not come myself. 418. So that there was no opportunity of settling with you before today?-No.
