Day 245 - 07 May 96 - Page 14
1 MR. MORRIS: Page 38, line 42:
2
3 "Question: What actually happens to the combo of meat that
4 is unsatisfactory?
5
6 Answer: Well, the combo of meat by then has been
7 manufactured. Bacteriology takes 24, 48 hours."
8
9 Then at line 54:
10
11 "Question: I understand that, so by that time ...
12
13 Answer: By that time the meat has gone through.
14
15 Question: Yes, and the refrigerated lorry has gone away?
16
17 Answer: Absolutely sir."
18
19 Then you said:
20
21 "Question: What happens to it if it is unsatisfactory
22 which means that you will not keep it and use it for
23 patties?
24
25 Answer: That is just what I said, sir."
26
27 Line 9 on the next page:
28
29 "Question: We understand that but what happens to it?
30
31 Answer: It is used. By then it has been manufactured.
32
33 Ms. Steel: Right.
34
35 Answer: But it is not satisfactory. It is unsatisfactory
36 so if you do it again you are in trouble."
37
38 This is what Mr. Walker said:
39
40 "Question: But it goes through to the store?
41
42 Answer: Yes."
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: I am sorry, my Lord, this precisely illustrates
45 the vice of what Mr. Morris is doing. I have just been
46 given by Mrs. Brinley-Codd the whole of the page, which the
47 witness does not have, half or three-quarters of the way
48 down of which is where Mr. Morris started reading.
49
50 If one reads the whole page, one can see that, as I said a
51 moment ago, what Mr. Morris is doing is trying to compare
52 apples with oranges.
53
54 MS. STEEL: Which bit are you referring to?
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: I am looking at line 25 onwards and that makes it
57 clear.
58
59 MS. STEEL: All that is condemnable ----
