Day 107 - 24 Mar 95 - Page 26
1 which your Lordship will remember I told your Lordship once
2 (inaudible) and it turns out I was correct.
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I have it now.
5
6 MR. RAMPTON: Based on ledger sheets.
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: My puzzling is my tab C actually starts with
9 a raw meat specification so I have to go through it a bit
10 further before I come to the new papers.
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: That is right. I am afraid they are not in very
13 good order, but the finished product is page 9. The first
14 two entries are regular hamburger in item B of the
15 typewritten document. They are based on the fifth and
16 sixth entries in the handwritten finished product document,
17 the ledger, apparently, as I say, destined for Holland and
18 Denmark respectively. Then my Lord, one sees at item 6B on
19 the second page of the typewritten document a quarter
20 pounder -----
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You say the first two entries are regular
23 hamburger?
24
25 MR. RAMPTON: That is right, 1.4 x 10 to the 5 and 8.4 x 10 to
26 the 4. In other words, 140,000 and 84,000, if I have that
27 right. Those are shown, the first as 136,000, so they have
28 rounded up to one decimal point in the typewritten
29 document. But the figure for Denmark is the same as in the
30 typewritten document, 84,000.
31
32 Then there is a quarter pounder at item 6B in the
33 typewritten document; 2.7 x 10 to the 6 which is 2.7
34 million. That one sees on the next page of the ledger,
35 which is page 10 of the tab. This came from Scunthorpe
36 because that is where the quarter pounder was being made at
37 that time -- perhaps still is for all I know. It is the
38 third entry on that ledger sheet, 12th January 1994, 4 to 1
39 which is the quarter pounder, 10.7 x 10 to the 6. What the
40 "P" means, I cannot tell your Lordship, I am afraid.
41
42 Then, finally, my Lord, this is taking us back to the week
43 in January 1992 which the Defendants -- your Lordship asked
44 for an earlier year; this does not, of course, appear on
45 any typewritten document and -----
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I think the only point is this, that
48 I have very much in mind the evidence which Mr. Walker came
49 back with on the Monday about the large numbers of patties
50 which were destroyed.
51
52 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I thought (and it may have been
55 completely wrong) was that that meant that a patty was
56 destroyed, a part of it was taken, emulsified and tested,
57 so that if, for instance, you -- I forget how many he said
58 now were tested ---
59
60 MR. RAMPTON: It was something over 13,000.
