     1   MR. MORRIS:  There are some Clare Druce documents we served on
     2        the Plaintiffs last night after court.  They will not come
     3        up in today's evidence.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are to go in the back of the new bundle,
     6        are they?
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  That is correct, and also the John Brewton, sorry,
     9        the new witness statement which is a very, very rough guide
    10        to what his evidence is which has been given to the
    11        Plaintiffs as well.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  We have sent all that material down to
    16        Dr. Pattison and it may be that he will wish to give us the
    17        benefit of his views about that material before he comes
    18        back into the witness box which, in my submission, is in
    19        accordance with what your Lordship said yesterday.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, if need be, although we should be ready
    22        to start at half past 10 on Monday morning, we can have a
    23        bit of time then to -----
    24
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  He is coming up on Sunday night.
    26

    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  If I need to, I will ask your Lordship's  leave to
    30        ask him some questions in chief about that new material.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will look at that later and then I will
    33        insert it in appropriate witness parts of your witness
    34        bundles.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  Will your Lordship note that Mr. Brewton -- it is
    37        only a note, it is not a statement of evidence -- for the
    38        time being should go as a as a new tab 6, section B of 1B
    39        of the Defendants' witness statements.  Clare Druce is at 3

    50 
    51   Q.   What did that reveal? 
    52        A.  I am afraid I was not involved in the investigation.  I 
    53        do not have the details of it.  I was not involved.
