    17   Q.   When you were at Marble Arch, did you know somebody called
    18        Nicholas Magill?
    19        A.  Yes.
    20
    21   Q.   What is your memory of him?
    22        A.  A quiet lad, very punctual, hard working, nice lad,
    23        probably kept himself to himself a bit, an Irish lad.
    24
    25   Q.   I think that you know that he has made a statement on
    26        behalf of the Defendants in this case; you have had a

    29
    30   Q.   Do you recall him making any of the allegations that he

    37        expected him to make them -----
    38        A.  Quite possibly because I worked with him every day
    39        nearly.  Nick worked 9.00 until -- he worked in the
    40        mornings, I did a lot of morning shifts, Monday to Friday
    41        is what I meant to say he was working, and I used to do a
    42        lot of opens, and would work alongside him every day.
    43
    44   Q.   Did you have other managers come up to you and say:
    45         "Nicholas Magill has been complaining to us"?
    46        A.  No.
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:   Can you just hold on a moment?
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  Is it appropriate to ask (as often gets asked when 
    51        we have our witnesses in our witness box) if the statement

    53        time or -----
