2 MR. RAMPTON: The witness's one has been done, my Lord. He is
3 fishing for the kingfisher; he should be fishing for the
4 powder blue.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: It is the one at the top. I do not know what
7 number it is though.
8
9 MR. RAMPTON: It is 3.
10
11 MR. MORRIS: Could we just request a five minute break now?
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
14
15 MR. MORRIS: It is page 3 of his statement, I believe. That is
16 the relevant page.
17
18 THE WITNESS: I have it.
19
20 MR. MORRIS: May we have a five minute break?
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I just wanted to get myself a bit
23 organised. What I suggest is you go on about your break,
24 just ignore me and I will move the statements across to the
25 bundle. Just carry on.
26
27 MR. MORRIS: Five minutes break.

40 down that page and say, if you want to -- what do you want
41 to say about those matters?
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I do not believe that is the right way of
44 proceeding. There is only one matter on that page about
45 which Mr. Pearson could possibly have any knowledge at all,
46 and that is possibly the first two sentences of the first
47 complete paragraph.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You see, all this arises, I assume, from
50 paragraph 11 of Mr. Pearson's second statement. I had
51 anticipated that you would want to ask him about the David
52 McGee matters as he experienced them, that is, ask for such
53 admissible evidence as Mr. Pearson could actually give.
54 Then I would hear Mr. Pearson's evidence about that in the
55 normal way -- just sticking to what Mr. Pearson actually
56 saw or heard himself.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: I was just going to ask Mr. Pearson -----

60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The difficulty is, you see, if you just ask
