     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you sure Tennessee?  There is one in
     9        North or South Dakota because I have been through it.

    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  This says "Tennessee" at the end.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, very well.  Anyway, do either Tennessee
    16        or Sioux Falls ring any bells?
    17        A.  No, my Lord, it does not.

    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, New York State.
    31        A.  Yes, Buffalo is New York, but Kenmore, I have no idea.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  I think it may be Buffalo area.  "McDonald's at

         violations of hours regulations of minors?

    46
    47   MR. RAMPTON:  No.  My Lord, I know Mr. Morris does not mean it,

    49        third or fourth time he has used that form of words, "Are
    50        you aware that?" 
    51

    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  It is not correct in relation to an allegation of
    55        which there is no evidence.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Just give the give the details.  The
    58        question I posed to Mr. Stein is whether he knew anything
    59        about it, or words to that effect.
