909. Was the memorial not sent up within the last three or four
years?-No; it was longer than that, to the best of my recollection.
Our petition was got up very shortly after we were wanted to sign
the obligation.
910. Did you complain much at that time about the herring
fishery?-I believe some of the men did but am not a herring
fisher.
911. What is the usual amount of rent that you pay in Burra?-It
will run from £6 to £2, 10s., or perhaps as high as £7.
