    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes?
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:  Mr. Atherton, you know of the existence of the
    13        Public Health Laboratory Service, do you?
    14        A.  Yes, I have heard of it.
    15
    16   Q.   In investigating food poisoning incidents?
    17        A.  I do not know in great detail about the Public Health
    18        Laboratory.
    19
    20   Q.   Do you know they did an investigation after the Preston
    21        food poisoning incident?
    22        A.  I did not know it was they that did the investigation.
    23
    24   Q.   You do not know that?
    25        A.  No.
    26
    27   Q.   If you look at the document -----

    29   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord -----
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  I am well aware that the same things apply.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  No, Mr. Morris has already trespassed because he
    34        has described the document which he is not allowed to do.
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  Look at the unnamed document in the -----
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord.  That is not the right way of doing
    39        it.  Mr. Morris is playing to the gallery.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a minute, Mr. Morris.  Take your
    42        objection, Mr. Rampton.
    43
    44   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, Mr. Morris knows by now the procedure.
    45        He must ask a question about a fact about which the witness
    46        may or may not have knowledge.  If Mr. Morris wishes to
    47        contradict the answer then he may show him an unnamed
    48        document which he is not permitted to describe, show it to
    49        him, ask him to look at it without saying a word about the
    50        document and ask him if he wishes to adhere to his answer. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  Can we just go to the document and we will do what 
    53        we did last time?
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have a look at the document.  Have you got it
    56        there?
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  It is the second Supplementary List, is it
    59        not?  23 or 25.  The Defendants' Supplementary List
    60        No. 23.  Do not read the front cover because you might be
