1465. Suppose you did not want the whole amount of your line in goods at one time, could you not take the line home with you, and when you happened to be again in Lerwick might you not get the balance in any kind of goods you wanted that were in the shop?- Yes; and I could get the goods at any time if I were to send down the line. 1466. Is that sometimes done?-I have never done it; but I suppose the merchants would do it. 1467. Did you ever know of a line being sold to another for money, or for another kind of goods?-No; I never did that myself, and I don't know of it being done. 1468. Is it all drapery that you are taking back?-Yes. 1469. Then you will have about £2 or £3 worth of it this time?- Yes. 1470. Do you want all that for your own use?-The girl for whom I sold one of the shawls will get her share of it. 1471. But when you brought down five shawls you might have twice as much to take back as you have this time?-It is not very much that they give for the shawls sometimes; and once, when I came down from Fetlar and had to pay the freight, I had to take what they would give me; and I could not get what I asked. 1472. Is it all stuff for, your own use that you are taking back, in exchange for your own, shawls which you sold?-Yes. 1473. Do you want the goods?-Yes. 1474. Are you to use them for yourself?-Yes. Lerwick, January 3, 1872, MARGARET TULLOCH, examined. 1475. You live in Lerwick 1476. Are you in the habit of knitting for merchants here?-Yes. 1477. Do you buy your own wool?-For about eighteen months I have bought it. 1478. Before that, how did you do?-I knitted for Mr. Robert Linklater. 1479. You got the wool from him and knitted it, and took back the articles to him?-Yes. 1480. When you got the wool from him, in what way were you paid?-In goods. 1481. Had you a pass-book?-Yes. 1482. Have you got it with you?-Yes. [Produces it] 1483. The goods you got at the shop are entered in the first part of the book, and then at the end there are entries of the knitted work which you have brought back to the shop?-Yes; I knitted a great deal before I took the pass-book out at all. 1484. The knitting begins on July 7th, 1869, and the goods begin in November 1866, and there was balance due for knitting of £3, 17s., 10d., which is not entered in the book at all: how do you explain in that?-It was them who always made up the book. [Page 30] 1485. Had you a pass-book for goods before this?-I knitted a long time before I took a pass-book. 1486. When did you begin to knit?-I cannot remember how many years it is ago. I had knitted for two or three years to Mr. Linklater before I got the book. 1487. Are the goods which are entered here just for your own use?-No; I sold some tea and got money for it, for I could not get money out of the shop.
