     1        to such and such a lowering in blood pressure, or the part
     2        which purported to show that such and such a lowering of
     3        blood pressure resulted in such and such a lowering in the
     4        incidence of cardiovascular disease.  And that is why, when
     5        Mr. Rampton made objection, I was interested that the
     6        matter be pursued further.
     7
     8             Now, what I suggest is the best thing to do is that we
     9        adjourn now until quarter-past-2, and that you take with
    10        you a copy of that article.  I will take a copy as well.
    11        That Miss Brophy reads it, and then you be at liberty to,
    12        you can have a look at it as well.
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:  I have not actually been given a copy.
    15
    16   MR. RAMPTON:  I gave copy to Mr. Riley.  Mr Riley, how many
    17        copies are there?
    18
    19   THE USHER:  3.
    20
    21   MR. RAMPTON:  There is another one here.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, if copies are made for Mr. Morris and
    24        Miss Steel as well.  What I suggest is if you would be kind
    25        enough to have a look at the articles, you may be familiar
    26        with the article you may not?
    27        A.   Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   But take a little time to read it?
    30        A.   No, I have not seen this before.
    31
    32   Q.   Well, take a little time to read it during the midday
    33        adjournment.  When you have read it and when Miss Steel and
    34        Miss Brophy have had a chance to look at it they will speak
    35        to you, and what I suggest you do is if you want to ask any
    36        questions on that or, having looked at that, you want to
    37        ask any further questions about the reports which you put
    38        in, do that before you ask your final questions on meaning.
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:  Right.  OK.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do your best to do it by quarter-past-two,
    43        but I will ask Mr. Glenn to come down at about ten past and
    44        if you need a little more time tell him.  Yes.
    45
    46                        (Luncheon adjournment)
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:   Just to say we did not actually get a chance, well,
    49        none of us, managed to read it as carefully as we would
    50        like to be able to read it.  I am not going to ask any
    51        questions on it.
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, you are perfectly entitled to see if Mr.
    54        Rampton does cross-examine on it.
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:  If it does I would like it to be taken into
    57        consideration there is an awful lot of it.
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:   I guarantee I will not go into detail.
