     1        A.  Yes.
     2
     3   Q.   She did not say she was involved in the demonstration?
     4        A.  She did not say that, but it was obvious by the
     5        discussion she knew the people involved and she knew what
     6        they had been up to, otherwise why would I have had the
     7        phone call?
     8
     9   Q.   You do not want Mrs. Druce to visit the broiler farms
    10        because you know she is opposed to the broiler industry; is
    11        that not right?
    12        A.  I know that she holds those sorts of views.
    13
    14   Q.   You are afraid of criticism from people who are opposed to
    15        the broiler industry?
    16        A.  As I say, I am not afraid of being criticised by
    17        anybody who holds objective views.
    18
    19   Q.   Well, I am sorry, you have come back to that "objective
    20        views".  Are you saying that you do not think her views are
    21        objective?
    22        A.  I cannot say any more than I have already said.
    23        I have said that I know what her views are, and I cannot
    24        say any more than that.
    25
    26   MS. STEEL:   Perhaps we could break there.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the prognosis for tomorrow?
    29
    30   MS. STEEL:   To be honest I do not think we will be finished.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What areas have you got to cover?
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:   Well, obviously there is slaughter to go through
    35        and some other points we need to go back to as well that
    36        need to be clarified.  The other thing is I have actually
    37        got an appointment tomorrow in the afternoon which I would
    38        like to keep.  It has come up at short notice.  I realise
    39        that this creates problems, but I do not think we would be
    40        finished tomorrow anyway.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  When you say "an appointment" is it anything
    43        to do with the case?
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:   It is to do with my health.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  While respecting privacy, is it a medical
    48        appointment?
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:  Yes. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What time is it? 
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:  At 3 o'clock.  That was the only time they had.  It
    55        is just the only time they had.  It was a cancellation.
    56        I was told that it is quite possible that I would not get
    57        an appointment for a considerable period of time.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did you tell them what your situation was?
