Day 107 - 24 Mar 95 - Page 26


     
     1        which your Lordship will remember I told your Lordship once
     2        (inaudible) and it turns out I was correct.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I have it now.
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  Based on ledger sheets.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  My puzzling is my tab C actually starts with
     9        a raw meat specification so I have to go through it a bit
    10        further before I come to the new papers.
    11
    12   MR. RAMPTON:  That is right.  I am afraid they are not in very
    13        good order, but the finished product is page 9.  The first
    14        two entries are regular hamburger in item B of the
    15        typewritten document.  They are based on the fifth and
    16        sixth entries in the handwritten finished product document,
    17        the ledger, apparently, as I say, destined for Holland and
    18        Denmark respectively.  Then my Lord, one sees at item 6B on
    19        the second page of the typewritten document a quarter
    20        pounder -----
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You say the first two entries are regular
    23        hamburger?
    24
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  That is right, 1.4 x 10 to the 5 and 8.4 x 10 to
    26        the 4.  In other words, 140,000 and 84,000, if I have that
    27        right.  Those are shown, the first as 136,000, so they have
    28        rounded up to one decimal point in the typewritten
    29        document.  But the figure for Denmark is the same as in the
    30        typewritten document, 84,000.
    31
    32        Then there is a quarter pounder at item 6B in the
    33        typewritten document; 2.7 x 10 to the 6 which is 2.7
    34        million.  That one sees on the next page of the ledger,
    35        which is page 10 of the tab.  This came from Scunthorpe
    36        because that is where the quarter pounder was being made at
    37        that time -- perhaps still is for all I know.  It is the
    38        third entry on that ledger sheet, 12th January 1994, 4 to 1
    39        which is the quarter pounder, 10.7 x 10 to the 6.  What the
    40        "P" means, I cannot tell your Lordship, I am afraid.
    41
    42        Then, finally, my Lord, this is taking us back to the week
    43        in January 1992 which the Defendants -- your Lordship asked
    44        for an earlier year; this does not, of course, appear on
    45        any typewritten document and -----
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I think the only point is this, that
    48        I have very much in mind the evidence which Mr. Walker came
    49        back with on the Monday about the large numbers of patties
    50        which were destroyed. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I thought (and it may have been
    55        completely wrong) was that that meant that a patty was
    56        destroyed, a part of it was taken, emulsified and tested,
    57        so that if, for instance, you -- I forget how many he said
    58        now were tested ---
    59
    60   MR. RAMPTON:  It was something over 13,000.
