1 think about whether you can get it transcribed but you need
2 not do that at the moment. While I am on it, Keith Baker,
3 who is section A19, my copy is very difficult to read as
4 well. That is in longhand. I hope I have remembered the
5 right name.
6
7 MR. MORRIS: Statement of Ronald Cunningham, you asked for a
8 better copy and, hopefully, now you have a better copy.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: That is in the general Civil Evidence Act Notices.
13 The last one was just the correspondence file.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well. What would be most helpful
16 to me is if you say anything in reply which you wish to do
17 to what Mr. Rampton said yesterday evening about your Store
18 Hygiene and child labour law matters, including you were
19 hoping to produce the New York Times photo of that article.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Yes, yes.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Because it might be thought that that is

34
35 MR. MORRIS: I found the document. It is actually from the
36 Washington Post, June 11th 1995. (Handed). It is a direct
37 copy of a Digest compiled by Julie Goodman of the
38 Washington Post, as it says at the bottom. The only
39 problem with it is that the actual town is not given. It

41
42 MR. RAMPTON: District of Columbia, Washington.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: OK, yes, maybe that is what it means, district of
45 Columbia, Washington, but that is a technical matter
46 really.
47
48 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It may not be technical, because it has to be
49 particular enough for the Plaintiffs to have some prospect
50 of enquiring into it.
51
52 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So it could be important. Where do we see
55 the district of Columbia?
56
57 MR. RAMPTON: We do not, my Lord. I have "of Columbia" on to
58 the word "district" and seeing that it is from the
59 Washington Post I have assumed it meant the district of
60 Columbia. The other two are neighbouring states, Maryland
