     1        I cannot at the moment.
 
     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can Mr. Hill find time to look at the
              transcript?  It would be the beginning or end of the day
     3        or beginning of the afternoon session, and wherever a
              document is spoken to then deal with it.
     4
         MS. STEEL:   It is not just out of things that are mentioned in
     5        the transcripts though, because the thing about the pig
              booklet, that had never been mentioned before.  We have
     6        not got copies.  I am not sure when you were given a copy
              of it, or anything.  I am just a bit concerned that there
     7        may be other documents where the same situation has
              arisen.  Because really there should not be any documents
     8        in the trial bundles that have not been disclosed to us
              formally anyway.
     9
         MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, one problem is this -- I repeat myself
    10        I know, but I did mean it when I said it.  On 26th July
              Mr. Morris sent us a letter asking for a copy of the
    11        anaemic school girls report.  This was in open court
              inserted by your Lordship and by the defendants,
    12        I suppose, into their bundle on Thursday, 21st July, just
              before the mid-day adjournment.
    13
         MS. STEEL:   I am not sure how that helps us with the thing
    14        about the pigs.
 
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  What I am suggesting is that if the defendants
              paid more attention to the documents they are given, they
    16        might not find this difficulty.  That is an example of
              it.  We are asked for a document, supposedly missing,
    17        which they had five days beforehand.
 
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It seems to me fair to assume that there is
              nothing in your bundles or my bundles which is not in the
    19        defendants' bundles, save for things which have been
              produced to me over the last few days.  What I do not know
    20        is to what extent documents may have been put in my
              bundles which were not on my desk when I came in each
    21        morning.  None at all.
 
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not believe we have been doing that, my
              Lord.  If Mr. Hill has a moment or two before the end of
    23        the case, then I am sure he will check through the
              beginning and end of each session in court to see
    24        precisely what documents have gone into your Lordship's
              bundles.
    25
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What happened about the pig brochure? 
    26 
         MR. RAMPTON:  I believe the defendants have one copy.  I have 
    27        one.  Your Lordship has one.  I do not know -- the witness
              had one and I do not know where it has gone.  Your
    28        Lordship had two and I believe one of those went to the
              witness.
    29
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does Mr. Hill have any reason to believe
    30        that you have documents in your bundles or I have
              documents in my bundles which are not in the defendants'
