     2   MR. MORRIS (To the witness):  Yes, but as an expert, though,
     3        that is the kind of standard test procedure, is it, in
     4        these cases, to have a failure percentage that could be
     5        discounted?  Obviously, with salmonella it is nought
     6        because they will not allow any failure, but that is the
     7        standard procedure, is it?
     8        A.  There are not standard procedures.  These are just
     9        McKey's own guidelines for what they think will be
    10        necessary in order to meat the final standards.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Shall we break off there?
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will resume at 2 o'clock.  I will ask you
    17        at 2 o'clock how you think you are doing with Professor
    18        Jackson out of consideration for Mr. Clark, as much as
    19        anything else, whether Mr. Clark is called by Mr. Rampton,
    20        called by you or not called at all, so we can just see what
    21        the timing is like.
    22
    23                       (Luncheon Adjournment)
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is your best prognosis on time?
    26
    27   MR. MORRIS:  It looks like we are probably going to finish
    28        today.  I do not know where that leaves us.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, let us see how you go.  The only thing
    31        I have in mind is one or two things I may want to say to
    32        you about calling or not calling Mr. Clark, that will be
    33        very short, but if we did finish this afternoon and if
    34        Mr. Rampton then made a decision, we might have to consider
    35        whether he could make a decision this evening about
    36        Mr. Clark.  Do you see?  But do not concern yourself about
    37        that now.  Just carry on with your cross-examination of
    38        Professor Jackson.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  I am not sure where the map is of the floor plan of
    41        Jarrets.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, it is in tab 9 of volume IX.
    44
    45   THE WITNESS:  I have not found it.  Which volume was it?
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yellow volume IX, please, Professor Jackson,
    48        and then tab 9 among the documents there.
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  Did you say this was a fairly standard layout and 
    51        satisfactory, as far as you were concerned? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   You said about possible contamination, important areas, one
    55        was by the dehiding; is that correct?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   A general question: is there a problem in some
    59        slaughterhouses with contaminated material crossing the
    60        line, the moving line of the carcasses?  Is that a problem?
