"All these men have been in my employment during the present season. They have worked by the season, month, or week, most of the time; part of this time I paid them a commission."
"I have," continues James Roach, "looked over the list of persons mentioned by Mr. Smethurst as being employed by him, and it is correct as far it goes; the following names should be added:
