Two years ago, when I got married, I went there to

get furniture, and I made arrangement with one of the

men of the shop I think he was the son of the master

to pay $15 a month on the instalment system, and I

received so much furniture. At the time I got the

furniture, he did not have very good furniture. It was

good, but not what I wanted. I made do with what I had

at first, and wheh he had better stuff in the shop I

exchanged, sent back some furniture and got other in

exchange.

Did that increase your indebtedness to him ?

A

No, Sir, and I paid that man all up.

Was there any question about the final settlement of

the furniture ?

Yes, Sir. I returned so much furniture because it was

not suited to me, and allowed a little for the rental

of the thing. He receipted the bill, and I lost $8 on

the transaction.

Why did you return this furniture ?

Because I did not want it. At the time, I had a

gentleman staying with mẹ, and when he left, I

returned it, and another thing, I was removing up to

Robinson Road, and I did not want it.

Were you removing to a smaller house ?

No, the furniture was not suitable.
