    (continued from previous page)
    Money was always given for goods. Labour was given very often in Spring and in Autumn for goods. The words in deals were "tick" which means credit. "Boot" which means, if two men were making a swop and if they considered one thing better than the other the owner of the bad thing would give something along with what he was swopping and the thing he gave with what he was swopping would be called the boot. "Lucks-penny" means money given by the seller to the buyer for luck. Every place markets are held now they were held in the same place.
