     1        also pencilled in "query Connor McCann may come", and you
     2        said something more about Mr. McCann, which I cannot now
     3        remember.  But I think it was just to re-express a doubt as
     4        to whether he would attend.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  Connor McCann will not be coming.  If it is any --
     7        I do not think I should say.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All I want you to say ------
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  He is in some religious order.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All I want you to say is whether there is a
    14        final position that Connor McCann is coming or is not
    15        coming, or it is in doubt.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  We will read out his statement as a Civil Evidence
    18        Act.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have Civil Evidence Act grounds for
    21        reading his statement.
    22
    23   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:   Mr. McCann has become a monk, and -----
    26
    27   MR. MORRIS:  We think -- something like that, anyway.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I hope this litigation is not responsible for
    30        that.  What you do not have to do is give me any
    31        explanation as to why he may not be here.  I do not need
    32        one.  I am not going to draw any conclusion with regard to
    33        his evidence that he does not actually come from outside
    34        the -----
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  I understand that, yes.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me just make a note. (Pause)  Now, can we
    39        use some time to read some witnesses?  Do you remember that
    40        I mentioned this?
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  We are going to do that.  I would not mind reading
    43        some stuff that was not David McGee, for this simple
    44        reason, that we cannot find our notes, and if we were going
    45        to do that we would like Mr. Rampton just to summarise all
    46        his points again.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you got Mr. McGee's statement?
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  I cannot find where I made a note of what he 
    51        said that is hearsay. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will be surprised if Mr. Rampton objected
    54        to putting his argument again.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord ----
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Get a copy of the statement, first of all.
    59        It is in my pale volume 3 at divider 3.
