1685. Would that be a month or two?-Yes.
1686. Was a line given to you for the whole price of the shawl that you were selling, or was it only for the balance?-27s., was the price of the shawl.

and he said he would give it to me.

Lerwick, January 3, 1872, JEMIMA SANDISON, examined.
1697. Are you a knitter in Lerwick?-Yes.
1698. Do you knit with your own wool?-No.
1699. Do you knit for merchants in the town?-Yes; for Mr.
Robert Sinclair.
1700. Have you a pa.s.s-book?-Yes. [Produces it.]
1701. Do you deal with Mr Sinclair in the way which has been described already by the Witnesses you have heard?-No.
1702. Do you deal in a different way?-Yes.
1703. How is that? You get wool from him to knit into shawls or veils?-Yes; chiefly veils.
1704. The goods you get are entered in the pa.s.sbook you have produced, and the goods given in are entered at the end of it?- Yes.
1705. Are the goods supplied to you always goods which you are requiring for your own use?-Yes.

1707. Do you live with your own family?-Yes; with my mother.
1708. Do you get part of the payment for your shawls and veils in money?-Yes; whenever I ask money I get it. I never asked a s.h.i.+lling from Mr. Sinclair himself but that I always got it.
1709. When you got money for a shawl, how was it entered in the book?-I cannot say anything about that.
1710. If you were to take two veils to Mr. Sinclair and ask the money for them, do you think you would get it?-I cannot say, because I never asked it; but whenever I asked for a small quant.i.ty of money, such as 2s. or the like of that, I got it.
1711. What quant.i.ty of goods did you generally take at a time?-I cannot say that either. I don't think I ever had money to get out of his book. I was always due him something, and in that way I could not ask him for money.
1712. Then your account was larger than the value of the articles which you took to him?-Yes.
1713. If that was so, did you ever ask him for money at all?-Yes; sometimes, when I was in a strait for money I asked him for a little, and I got it.
1714. Then that was an advance, which he made when there was nothing due to you?-Yes; I have asked him for money when I was due him.
1715. But you don't know how that was entered in the pa.s.s-book, or whether it was entered there at all?-No; I don't think it was entered.
1716. I see there are entries in your pa.s.s-book: April 28, 1871, cash 1s.; April 26, cash 6d.: is that the way the money was entered?-Yes.
1717. There is an entry of worsted, 5d. was that worsted given to you for the purpose of knitting shawls to Mr. Sinclair?-I asked for worsted to buy, and I got it to knit for myself, and to sell again.
1718. Then it is entered in the pa.s.s-book just as goods?-Yes.
1719. Is there any difficulty made about giving you worsted in that way and entering it in the pa.s.s-book?-No; whenever I ask for worsted, I get it the same as any other thing out of the shop.
