1511. Is that a common practice, to get two quarter pounds of tea and to sell one of them, or to get several quarter pounds in payment for your shawl?-No; I just got it as I asked for it. 1512. Have you sold anything else besides tea which you got from the shop?-Yes, cottons and some moleskins which I had to take out of the shop in order to pay my rent. 1513. I don't see any moleskins marked here?-No; they are not in that book. 1514. Had you any other book?-No; it was when I sold my own shawls that I took the moleskins. 1515. You say you buy your own wool: where do you buy it?- There is a woman who spins it for me. I buy it in worsted. 1516. Do you pay her for it in money?-Yes. 1517. And you sell your shawls to any merchant who will buy them?-Yes. 1518. How are you paid for them?-I sold the last two to Miss Robina Leisk. 1519. Is she a merchant in Lerwick?-Yes. 1520. Has she a shop?-Yes. 1521. How were you paid for these shawls?-I got £2, 14s. for the two-27s. apiece. 1522. Were you paid in money?-No. 1523. Were they fine shawls?-Yes 1524-5. Did you get any part of that sum in money?-14s. 1526. Was that all you asked for in money?-Yes. 1527. And you got the rest in goods?-Yes. 1528. Did you want these goods for your own use?-No; I took some moleskins to sell. 1529. Was that because you could not get the rest in money?- Yes. 1530. Did you ask for more in money?-She did not want to give me more. 1531. Did you ask for more?-I did not ask for it, because I knew I would not get it. 1532. Did she say she would give you that much, without your asking?-Yes. 1533. What did you do with the moleskins?-I sold them. 1534. How much of them did you take?-21/2 yards. 1535. What was the price of them?-2s. 8d. a yard. 1536. Was there anything else you bought for the purpose of selling?-Yes; I bought some cotton. 1537. Have you sold it?-Yes. 1538. Did you get as much for it as you paid?-Yes. 1539. Did you get a little more?-No; no more. I thought it a favour to get the same price. 1540. Did you know any person who would take these goods from you at the time you got them, or did you buy them on the chance of selling them?-No; I knew a person who would buy them from me. 1541. Is that the way you generally deal when you have shawls to sell?-Yes. 1542. You get some things that you want, and some things that your neighbours want, and as much as you can in money?-Yes. 1543. Do you often get tea for the purpose of selling it?-I get it when I ask it; but I only ask it when I know of a person who will take it from me for what they have done for me. 1544. How do you purchase the provisions-the meal and bread- that you want?-When I sell anything that I get for my work, I buy them with the money. 1545. But if you don't have the money, what do you do?-I don't have money at the time, I go down to a shop and get it from them until I can get the money to pay for it.
