     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Orange 4.
     3        A.   Can somebody help me with that?
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Mr. Riley is obtaining it for you.
     6
     7   MR. RAMPTON:  Tab 25, Mr. Riley, in the second part.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is the very last document in the bundle.
    10        A.   Right.  How do we get at it?  Goodness me!
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:  24?
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  25.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:   We do not have that one.
    17        A.   We have it.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:   We do not have a copy.
    20
    21   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not have a spare copy, I am afraid.  Mrs.
    22        Brinley-Codd's is marked and also Professor Naismith needs
    23        to look at it.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just do your best to follow what is what.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  It is paper headed, is it, metabolic epidemiology
    28        of large bowel cancer?
    29        A.  Yes.
    30
    31   Q.   In fact, you can see underneath the summary, you can see it
    32        was published in 1978?
    33        A.   Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   So it is, in one sense, fairly ancient history, but can I
    36        just ask you to read it.  I am not going to read it out
    37        because I have read it at least one or twice before in this
    38        case.  Notice it is by a number of people, two of whom are
    39        Ready and Winter, who are very well-known in this field,
    40        are they not?
    41        A.   Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   Can I just ask you to read the summary to yourself and tell
    44        me when you have finished?
    45        A.   Yes, yes.
    46
    47   Q.   I will read this out for the benefit of the defendants.  At
    48        the bottom of the right-hand column of that page the last
    49        two sentences beginning after the word "Denmark" in the
    50        middle of the paragraph: "Colon cancer waste."  Do you see
    51        that?
    52        A.   You have lost me.  You asked me to read the abstract.
    53
    54   Q.   After the abstract, the main body of the article.
    55        A.   Bottom right-hand side, yes.
    56
    57   Q.   There is a paragraph which begins "colon cancer incidence"?
    58        A.  Yes.
    59
    60   Q.   I will not read that first sentence.  I am interested in
