1 bottom of the page, right-hand side, yes?
2 A. Yes.
3
4 Q. Going north/north west from there, but before you get out
5 of whatever the thing is called, a box, just to the north
6 east of San Jose we see Barretos -- I have yellowed it?
7 A. Yes.
8
9 Q. Above that, or as part of it, is the state of Minas and
10 then up by Brazilia is the state of Goyas; to the west of
11 Goyas is the Matto Grosso?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. Then just south, or coming out of the Matto Grosso is the
15 Paraguay River, do you see those?
16 A. Yes, I do.
17
18 Q. Flowing downwards or southwards, I should say, into
19 Paraguay?
20 A. Into Paraguay.
21
22 Q. On that map how far north do you think you travelled in
23 that day?
24 A. Well, I was in an American style car. I would guess
25 (and I am purely guessing) I must have done 150, 200 mile
26 trip.
27
28 Q. Finally this on Brazil, Mr. Walker, while you were in
29 Brazil did you see or hear, observe, anything to suggest
30 that the account you had been given of where the beef was
31 to come from was in any material particular not true?
32 A. Nothing whatsoever.
33
34 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, perhaps we can leave Brazil there for the
35 moment?
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
38
39 MR. MORRIS: Could we ask if we can have the original invoices
40 overnight?
41
42 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. If you want to note anything on them,
45 stick a post-it on them rather than marking the actual
46 original.
47
48 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, Mrs. Brinley-Codd (who claims to
49 understand them which is more than I do) has offered to
50 help the Defendants go through them so that we do not spend
51 a lot of time on what one might call investigative work in
52 court tomorrow.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest is when I have risen, if
55 Mrs. Brinley-Codd gives them to Ms. Steel or Mr. Morris,
56 and if you would like to ask Mrs. Brinley-Codd anything
57 about them which, of course, will not in any be evidence in
58 the case, but just for your information, then, please do
59 so.
