     1        their genuineness, it may benefit you to have a look at the
     2        originals in due course.  For the moment, can you just look
     3        at appendix 6 to Mr. Bone's statement?
     4        A.  Yes, I have it here.
     5
     6   Q.   You have it?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   Q.   This, perhaps would you agree, is an internal document
    10        prepared by Jarrets for their own information?
    11        A.  Yes, that is right.
    12
    13   Q.   There is no reason why this document should tell any lies,
    14        is there?
    15        A.  No.
    16
    17   Q.   If you look at the first page, which is for
    18        25th April 1994, the only hour in which the line speed got
    19        above 40 animals per hour was 8.30 to 9.30, was it not?
    20        A.  Yes, that is right.
    21
    22   Q.   Turn over the page to the second page, which is the next
    23        day, Tuesday, 26th April.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  They are not all hours, are they, though?
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  No, no, but that is an hour.  10.00 to 11.00 is a
    28        an hour; 11.00 to 12.00 is an hour; 12.00 to 12.55 is five
    29        minutes short of an hour; and so on.
    30
    31        If you look at the next page, you will see that there is
    32        one hour, 8.30 to 9.30, in which 44 animals were killed;
    33        right?
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   One hour, and 45 were killed?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   Please turn over the page.  This is the next day, Wednesday
    40        the 27th; there is one hour in which 50 are killed?
    41        A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   7.30 to 8.30.  8.30 to 9.30 is 40; 11.00 to 12.00 is 45;
    44        right?
    45        A.  Yes.
    46
    47   Q.   3 o'clock to 4.15, which is an hour and a quarter, is 46.
    48        Then on the next page, which is Thursday, 28th April, 7.30
    49        to 8.30 -- this seems to be a busy time -- 49; yes?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   The rest miles below. 
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:   That is not correct.  They are not hours.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  Then, again, in the next page, 7.30 to 8.30, 44;
    57        10.00 to 11.00, 49; and in the 55 minutes between 3 o'clock
    58        and 3.05 and 4 o'clock, 40.  You have agreed, I think, this
    59        morning, that Mr. Bone's calculation of the average line
    60        speed per hour, on the basis of those documents, is more or
