     2        The next was that the Defendants wanted documents relating
     3        to the 13,076, or whatever it was, patties that Mr. Walker
     4        said were destroyed daily for chemical and microbiological
     5        testing by Mr. Walker.  I shall have a good deal to say
     6        about that.  The Defendants want what they call Jarret
     7        documents.  They have not specified them (not all of them),
     8        but in particular those seen by Professor Jackson.
     9        Professor Jackson has never been to Jarrets, so one can
    10        forget that aspect of it.  He went to Midland Meat
    11        Packers.  I have a good deal to say about that.
    12
    13        They want, they say, the original documents underlying the
    14        accidents statistics.  What they have are original
    15        documents, not documents prepared for these proceedings.
    16        It will be a matter for heated dispute whether they are
    17        entitled or should have anything else.
    18
    19        Then there was a reference to soya in Mr. Cesca's second
    20        affidavit, page 8, paragraph ten.  I am afraid to say that
    21        I did not understand the nature of the application.
    22        Perhaps your Lordship did, and I can deal with it in due
    23        course.
    24
    25        The dispute about the status of the PHLS report; your
    26        Lordship has dealt with and disposed of this morning.
    27        Ditto the question about the report on the 1982 Oregon
    28        incident.
    29
    30        My Lord, finally I have got outstanding Ms. Steel's request
    31        for clarification about the nature and effect of the
    32        defence to counterclaim, the defence of justification.
    33        That is something which I see no particular urgency about.
    34        I do not know whether your Lordship does.  I can deal with
    35        it at any time which may be convenient to your Lordship.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am relieved that I have all those on my
    38        list.  Let me just look through my list again.  Did you
    39        want to say anything more on the USA supply sources or list
    40        of suppliers, or had you said everything you wish to say on
    41        that?
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  I had understood your Lordship had really said no
    44        to that.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  In any event, you did argue back on it.
    47
    48   MR. RAMPTON:  The only thing I should add to that, I said there
    49        is a list of main suppliers for '83, which indeed there is;
    50        there is also a complete list, main and subsidiary, for 
    51        1989.  There is, in fact, as Mrs. Brinley-Codd pointed out 
    52        to me after I sat down, an intervening list of main 
    53        suppliers for 1987.  That is contained in some documents
    54        which were disclosed at or about the time that Dr. Gomez
    55        Gonzalez was first here.  The Defendants have those
    56        documents.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not come back for a moment.  I am just
