     1        my life in a courtroom.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will wait and see.  Can I say one thing?
     4        Was there anything else you wanted to say, Mr. Rampton?
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  I wanted to pass up a copy of the letter which
     7        your Lordship had this morning on which Mrs. Brinley-Codd
     8        has marked in Mr. Style's reference where the various
     9        documents should be put.  She wants it back afterwards,
    10        please, later on.  On Monday, or something.
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:  I am not saying we will not be finished in a day on
    13        Monday, but I think you can assume that.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us wait and see.  One thing which
    16        occurred to me, which might help me as you go through
    17        cross-examination and might help you yourselves when you
    18        have to come to think about what you are going to say at
    19        the end of the case, is if you divide your
    20        cross-examination up into topics, or at least know what
    21        particular topic you are on.  I do not just mean rearing
    22        and slaughter topics, but a topic within that, because if,
    23        at the end of the day, when you come to make a speech, one
    24        of the ways you do it -- or I urge you to do it -- is think
    25        of the facts which you want to establish.  That is just
    26        another way of saying a topic upon which you are going to
    27        address me and which you have a point of view on or say
    28        I should make a particular finding on.  That would
    29        certainly help me with witnesses who cover a number of
    30        topics.  If I am not quite sure where you are going, you
    31        can say, "Yes, this is the topic I am on".  That is only a
    32        suggestion.  We will resume at 10.30 on Monday morning.
