     1        memory is that we received a brochure containing both
     2        nutrition and ingredient information.  I believe, despite
     3        McDonald's statements that it had previously made this
     4        information available at its headquarters, I believe that
     5        the information was just the ingredient and not the
     6        nutrition information.  So we were looking for a booklet
     7        that did contain nutrition information in addition to
     8        ingredient information.
     9
    10        It is my memory, and it certainly is reflected in the July
    11        30, 1986 letter from Mr. Rosberg, that the booklet did.
    12        All I can tell you is what I have seen in the court files
    13        today do not indicate that that brochure contained
    14        nutrition information.  The only brochure I have seen is
    15        the April or March.
    16
    17   Q.   April.
    18        A.  Tab 19 -----
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If Mr. Rosberg, under cover of that letter,
    21        had sent you a booklet, he says a copy of the booklet is
    22        enclosed, which only contained ingredient, you would have
    23        picked that up very quickly, would you not?
    24        A.  I should have hoped so.  I am telling the court that
    25        I believe we had a brochure that contained ingredient
    26        nutrition information.  That must not be before the court
    27        or the one that is dated April 1987, tab 19, is
    28        incorrectly dated.  I do not know.  I can honestly say
    29        because of that confusion, Mr. Rampton, I do believe that
    30        at that time there was a brochure that had it, but
    31        I cannot swear to it.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  It looks, does it not -- let us be reasonable
    34        about it -- as if there was an addition between the two we
    35        have in the bundles, which was more or less in the form of
    36        the one dated April 1987, in other words, containing both
    37        sets of information?  From the materials in front of us,
    38        it looks as though that must be so?
    39        A.  I would conjecture that is so.  All I am trying to
    40        distinguish is I cannot, under oath, say that that is it
    41        because I am limited to what I have to refer to to refresh
    42        my recollection.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  Would it be possible for the plaintiffs to try and
    45        find that missing booklet?
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which missing booklet?
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  The one that is spoken of.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  There appears to be, I do not know, but it does 
    52        not seem to be in the court files.  There is a document 
    53        with nutrition information in America before April 1987
    54        that was widely available in their stores.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It seems pretty clear that tab 18 was
    57        printed on 1st July 1986 -- that is what it says on page
    58        96 -- and that tab 19 was printed on 27th April 1987.
    59        But, however that may be, it very much looks, I have to
    60        say from the letter, whether or not McDonald's can
