                                                     MRS. HOVI, Examined:
 
 
 
     1        what was stated by Jarrets during the last time I gave
     2        evidence, that laboratory testing, outside laboratory
     3        testing, was actually carried out at Jarrets even during
     4        the time I was there.
     5
     6        I just want to reiterate that now no results of such tests
     7        were shown to me, even though I did bring up initiating
     8        testing, since I thought it important.  But, no, the
     9        results of these tests were not given to me and nobody
    10        mentioned to me during my stay at Jarrets that such tests
    11        were carried out.  That is the only comment I have on that.
    12        I could not possibly have known about these results,
    13        because I was not told about them.
    14
    15        Then paragraph number 4, still concerning laboratory
    16        testing -----
    17
    18   MS. STEEL:   Can you pause?
    19        A.  Mr. Bone stated ------
    20
    21   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just say, if you are not commenting on
    22        something, does that mean you are agreeing with it or you
    23        are just passing over it?
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Rampton can pick that up if he wants.  It
    26        may well be that he will categorically ask Miss Hovi:  "Do
    27        you accept this?  Do you accept that?" and it may well be
    28        that she will.  I do not know.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So, if she skips a paragraph where you
    33        particularly want to ask her something, by all means do;
    34        but, otherwise, I suggest you let her go through the
    35        matters she has noted.
    36
    37        (To the witness)  Do speak slowly.  I know if it is in your
    38        nature to speak fast, it is very difficult; but just as a
    39        matter of discipline while you are in the witness box try
    40        and speak slowly, please.
    41        A.  All right.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  If the judge is writing something down, wait until
    44        he has finished.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I may ask you to wait every now and again.
    47        If you go slowly, it is much easier for everyone to make a
    48        note when they want to.  Yes, you were going to
    49        paragraph 4 ---
    50        A.  Paragraph 4. 
    51 
    52   Q.   -- on page 3? 
    53        A.  Still concerning laboratory testing, Mr. Bone states
    54        that E recording does not represent an unacceptable
    55        reading, which is, we come back to the point of doing these
    56        tests and -----
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  That is near the bottom of the -----
    59        A.  Near the bottom of paragraph number 4.  Basically,
    60        I can only say that E represents poor hygiene -- poor
