     1        should direct that no reference is made to these documents
     2        until tomorrow.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  From what I have heard of Dr. Gomez Gonzalez'
     5        evidence-in-chief, it can be compartmentalized fairly well.
     6
     7   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Tysons are chickens alone, are they not?
    10        They spread over various parts of the issue so far as
    11        chickens are concerned, but they are chickens alone.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  It is hygiene.  As far as we can see, they are very
    14        specialist documents from the US DA.  They are hygiene
    15        mainly.  I do not think we are doing hygiene today.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  What I think you should do is hand them
    18        over for the moment, if she would be kind enough to take
    19        them, to Mrs. Brinley-Codd.  (To the witness):  When you
    20        come to 1 o'clock, as you know, we have an hour.  The most
         important thing, since you are going to spend all day at
    22        least in the witness box, is that you get a bit of a rest
    23        and some proper refreshment, but if you find any time to
    24        have a glance at the documents just to see what kind of
    25        documents they are, you might take that opportunity, but
    26        take your proper break as the first priority.
    27        A.  Thank you.  I appreciate your concern.
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  May I have permission, please, if necessary, when
    30        I have looked at them, to go through them with Dr. Gomez
    31        Gonzalez this evening?
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Certainly, yes.  Indeed, if you wanted to
    34        talk to him over the mid-day break, you could.  Is
    35        Mrs. Brinley-Codd going to be kind enough to make copies
    36        anyway?
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not know that I would ask her to do that
    39        until we have had a chance to look at them.
    40
    MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, reserve that.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  Can we reserve our position?
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  If, in fact, you are able to help any
    46        in way with regard to any necessary photocopying, I would
    47        obviously be grateful, although the obligation is on
    48        Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris to do that.  The reason I say it
    49        in this case (and it is not a precedent for any other),
    50        they will have to take them back in order to photocopy them 
    51        and you might rather keep them in your possession for the 
    52        time being.  That is all. 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  There are a lot of the things I could say about it
    55        which I am not going to say even in the old orator's
    56        words -----
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You need not say because I can imagine.  But
    59        I am perfectly prepared to accept that they slipped out of
    60        the memory and got "lost", in inverted commas, for the
