                                      KATHERINE HARRISON, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        I have not just -----
     2
     3   Q.   Have you got there, Mrs. Harrison, your second statement,
     4        the typewritten one, open?
     5        A.  Yes.
     6
     7   Q.   I just want to ask you a question about the hours that you
     8        worked at Colchester.  You were an opener at
     9        Colchester ---
    10        A.  Yes, I was.
    11
    12   Q.  -- basically?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   Do I understand you to tell us that sometimes you would do
    16        a late close when there was going to be an important -----
    17        A.  Very occasionally.
    18
    19   Q.   Very occasionally.  So your actual knowledge of
    20        18 year olds working past midnight at Colchester must be
    21        largely based on what people told you; is that right?
    22        A.  What people told me and what I have witnessed, doing
    23        closes at Romford and other stores -- because I was fully
    24        flex at Romford.
    25
    26   Q.   I was asking you about Colchester.
    27        A.  Right.
    28
    29   Q.   Finally this:  you see the last paragraph but one, where
    30        you say: "Burns and cuts were not really taken seriously.
    31        They were not usually put in the Accident Book"; yes?
    32        A.  Yes.
    33
    34   Q.   Could I ask you to find on the shelf behind you a
    35        pink-backed volume, number XIII, please?
    36        A.  13?
    37
    38   Q.   13, yes.
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    41   Q.   And turn, please, to tab 57, L for "lollipop".  It is
    42        probably somewhere towards the back.
    43        A.  Right.
    44
    45   Q.   No?
    46        A.  Yes, I have got it.
    47
    48   Q.   You have it.  I hope that will turn out to be the
    49        Colchester Accident Book for the time that you were there?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Is it? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   If you keep the file -- or perhaps you can read sideways,
    56        I do not know -- there is a page number 961 AC, about four
    57        pages into that document?
    58        A.  Yes.
    59
    60   Q.   At the bottom of the page, there is an entry which I guess
 
                                      8
