1442. Who was the merchant that you sold them to?-Mr. Sinclair. 1443. What did you get for them?-Goods. 1444. Did you ask for money?-I did not ask for money, because it has been understood for many years back that they would not give any, and goods are marked on the paper that we get. When I come down I employ a person to dress the shawls, and then that person sells them for me in the shop, and I get back a note from her, stating the amount in goods that I am to get for them. I understand not to ask for money, because the thing is always in that form. 1445. When you get the note, do you hand it back at the shop and get the goods in return?-Yes. 1446. Have you got any of these notes?-No; I have got the goods for them, and I was preparing to return to Fetlar when I was summoned here. 1447. Is the note printed or written?-It is all written. 1448. Who is the dresser that you employ?-A Miss Robertson. I don't know where she lives. The woman I live with when in Lerwick-Mrs. Park, Charlotte Place-went with her when she sold the shawls. 1449. Do you never go to the shop and sell your own shawls?- Sometimes I do; but not this time. 1450. Did you ever go to the shop to sell your shawls, and ask to be paid in money?-No; because I understood I would get no money. 1451. Did you ever get any part of the balance in money?-None. 1452. What do you get in goods?-Any kind of soft goods which I want, and which are in the shop. If the goods I want are not in the shop, then they would say that they did not have them; and I would have to take something else. 1453. Is it just soft goods that are in the shop?-Yes. 1454. Not provisions?-No; not provisions. 1455. Is there any tea?-No. 1456. You go to the shop yourself for your goods, and hand your line in payment for them?-Yes. 1457. Could you the same goods in Fetlar?-I could get the goods in Fetlar if I had money to give for them; but I could not get money for shawls or veils in Fetlar. 1458. But if you had the money, could you get the goods as good and cheap in Fetlar as in Lerwick?-Yes; they are very cheap in Fetlar. Messrs. Hay Co. have a shop there. 1459. And you think you could get your goods as good and cheap there as you can in Lerwick?-Yes. 1460. And of course you would not have to carry them back with you?-No. 1461. Are there many people in Fetlar who knit the same way as you do, and come in to Lerwick to sell their shawls?-Yes; there are a good many people who knit in the same way that I do, and come down here with their shawls, because there is no other way of disposing of them. 1462. Do they get their payment in the same way?-So far as I know, they do. 1463. Do they always get goods for their lines when they come down?-Yes. 1464. Will they not get a line to come down at another time for the goods?-No; I don't think they would get them in that way.
