     1   Q.   It was because you were sacked because you were caught out
     2        in a little piece of dishonesty.  That is why, is it not?
     3        You wanted to get your own back, did you not?
     4        A.  I was never dishonest -- never dishonest.
     5
     6   Q.   How long do you say Gumboro disease persisted at Sun
     7        Valley?
     8        A.  All the time I was at Sun Valley.
     9
    10   Q.   All the time?
    11        A.  Yes, when I was at Sun Valley.
    12
    13   Q.   1987 to 1993?
    14        A.  That is right.
    15
    16   Q.   It lasted a year, did it not, April 1989 through to some
    17        time in 1990?
    18        A.  No.
    19
    20   MS. STEEL:  This is misleading.  That is not what Dr. Pattison
    21        said.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, you may or may not be right about that,
    24        but he is entitled to put the question.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  The average number of birds found dead in a shed
    27        of 25,000 is something like 50, is it not?
    28        A.  I would not say so, no.
    29
    30   Q.   Do you know what the rate of birds dead-on-arrival at the
    31        slaughterhouse is at Sun Valley?
    32        A.  I do not.
    33
    34   Q.   If you are telling the truth, it would be a very large
    35        number, would it not, birds hurled in, drawers slammed
    36        shut, necks crushed, heads crushed, wounded birds, birds
    37        with broken legs, broken wings, it would be an enormous
    38        amount?
    39        A.  I cannot answer you because I do not know what the rate
    40        is of broken legs or wings are in the factory.  If a lorry
    41        tips over and there is 5,000 dead on road, you can say,
    42        yes, there is 5,000 dead because you have seen them.  When
    43        they go to the factory you do not see them, do you?  They
    44        could be 55 miles away.
    45
    46   Q.   Where did you get 49 unused pairs of yellow ribbed gloves?
    47        A.  49 pair of -- I think it was, all I am saying it was
    48        49.  Let us take 10 pair off that, I will take nine pair
    49        off and make it equal 40, for argument's sake.  There was
    50        what I have gathered from while I was employed by myself 
    51        and I had given me off my daughter's boyfriend at the time 
    52        when he was working for a firm that went bankrupt. 
    53
    54   Q.   Where did you get the 17 pairs of white socks from?
    55        A.  17 pair of socks, I think it was three of Sun Valley's
    56        so that is, what, about 14, 14 pair of my own and three
    57        pair of Sun Valley's which I would have had off different
    58        cold stores what I worked.
