                                                     MRS. HOVI, Examined:
 
 
 
     1        look over the two new plans, Mrs. Hovi?
     2        A.  Yes.
     3
     4   Q.   How long do you think it will take you to look over, just
     5        check through the two new plans again to see if there are
     6        any differences between them and what you recall in April
     7        1994?
     8        A.  So you do not find it helpful, me going through the
     9        statement?
    10
    11   Q.   I do, but I want you to carry on with that when you come
    12        back, but I do not want to have a break now and then
    13        another break for you to look at the plan in half an hour
    14        or whenever it is time?
    15        A.  Yes.
    16
    17   Q.   Do you understand?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  Is it possible for Mrs. Hovi to be able to mark the
    21        map in any way in the witness box?
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, I do not think you should mark the map.
    24        If you have a piece of paper, just make a note on the back
    25        of one of the sheets of Mr. Bone's statement that you have
    26        turned over and I will come back at 12 o'clock.  Then you
    27        can tell me if there are any discrepancies.
    28
    29                       (Short adjournment)
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you found any other -----
    32        A.  Yes, there were a few minor things that I do not think
    33        are much of significance that are different from what the
    34        situation was.  Do you want me to go ------
    35
    36   Q.   I only want to know them if you think they may affect food
    37        hygiene in any way.
    38        A.  Well, they are -- they would be of consideration for me
    39        and they were, some of them, there were three different
    40        points and ------
    41
    42   Q.   Why do you not tell me what they are?
    43        A.  The weighing and grading of the carcasses has not been
    44        marked down which is, obviously, of importance both from
    45        meat hygiene and the abattoir's point of view as well.  The
    46        grading and weighing of the carcasses would happen in the
    47        fat trimming room.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  The fat trimming room?
    50        A.  Yes, it would happen where ------ 
    51 
    52   Q.   That is the end of the line before the chillers? 
    53        A.  Yes, just at the end of the line before the chillers.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, but -----
    56        A.  From a meat hygiene point of view, this is of
    57        importance only because at Jarrets the practice was not to
    58        remove the ear of the animal where the ear tag was until at
    59        this point which meant that there was a piece of
    60        contaminated outer side of the animal, if you like,
