593. And when does it end?-About September.

594. Suppose you wanted to draw all the money, or about all the

money, that was due to you in August or September, is it likely

that you would get it?-If I did not have very much to get, perhaps

I might get it all, or perhaps more; but if I did have much to get, I

don't think he would be inclined to give it all.

595. If you wanted anything, and could not get the money, would

you be obliged to take the goods out of his store?-Of course if I

could not get money from him, and was requiring the goods, I had

no other chance than taking them from the store.

596. If you wanted a supply of provisions or clothing, you would

have to get them there?-Yes.

597. Do you get both provisions and clothes at the store?-There

is not much clothing there.

598. Where do you get the rest of your clothing?-At any place

where we can get it cheapest when we can have a few shillings in

hand.

599. Where are the other stores in that district?-There is a man,

Mr. Gavin Henderson, who has a store about four or five miles

from us; and I believe he generally sells things at as cheap a rate as

they can be got in the country.
