- Money was always given for goods in this district. I can find no mention of barter.
The term "boot", "tick" and "change" and luck-penny were used in connection with buying and selling.
When I was young a "feather-monger" used to travel from house to house gathering feathers. He travelled through the fields and remained in the house of some farmer at night. He never had an animal to carry the feathers but always carried them on his back. When buying the feathers he used to ask the woman of the house
"How many plucks have you?"
He paid at the rate of so much "a pluck". He had no machine for weighing the feathers.
He visited the houses twice every year. His name was James Scanlan and he lived in Newmarket. He died about 30 years ago.
Feathers are now bought by people who travel by means of a pony and spring-cart.
