     1   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have maybe another five or 10 minutes.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  On Brazil or altogether?
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  On Mr. Walker.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Would you like to complete him?
     8
     9   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I think on the whole I would like to wait
    10        until tomorrow morning, if that is all right with your
    11        Lordship?
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, it seems to me, if you have finished
    14        with Brazil ---
    15
    16   MR. RAMPTON:  I have not quite; you would like me to finish with
    17        Brazil?
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think it would be right to do so because
    20        these documents did not arrive so very long ago and then
    21        the Defendants will have time to consider the evidence
    22        which has been given overnight.
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I will do that.  Then, your Lordship will
    25        allow me, I will not formally sit down just in case there
    26        is anything on the other topics that I have forgotten.
    27
    28   Q.   Did you go to Brazil?
    29        A.  I did.
    30
    31   Q.   Does this itinerary represent a skeleton of your movements?
    32        A.  Yes, it does.
    33
    34   Q.   Did you spend the Monday at Weddel?
    35        A.  Yes, in Weddel's Head Office in San Paulo.
    36
    37   Q.   Doing what?
    38        A.  Talking about the business out there, balance sheet,
    39        and the others things that meat men talk about;
    40        availability, world prices and that sort of thing.
    41
    42   Q.   If the Braslo plant is a meat processor making hamburgers
    43        for McDonald's, what does the Weddel plant do?
    44        A.  In San Paulo?
    45
    46   Q.   Yes.
    47        A.  It is not a plant, it is a head office; it is a
    48        national head office.
    49
    50   Q.   Is there a Weddel plant in Barretos? 
    51        A.  There is. 
    52 
    53   Q.   What does that do?
    54        A.  That kills and packs bones, cans and exports meat.
    55
    56   Q.   Where is the Braslo plant?
    57        A.  San Paulo.
    58
    59   Q.   So the slaughtered meat is brought, is it, from Weddel to
    60        Braslo or not?
