     3   MR. MORRIS:   I have got the documents to hand over.  I might as
     4        well do that now.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.  (Handed)
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:   Now, this document has been prepared by somebody
     9        else for us, reading as much of the transcripts as they
    10        could.  Two people, in fact.  It is not comprehensive.  I
    11        had a look through it last night.  It is not comprehensive,
    12        but it does have a lot of helpful references in it, to save
    13        me having to go through them.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:   Generally, these people were solicitors, but there
    18        is nothing in it which I would disagree with, I don't
    19        think, in terms of understanding of the evidence, but
    20        because they have come to the issue cold then some of it
         might be -----
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will make allowance for that.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:   Also, they did it very much at the last minute, so
    26        some of the pages have come out without anything on them or
    27        misprinted.  That should be borne in mind as well.  There
    28        was not time to check.  The list at the top is a list of
    29        the witnesses, the transcripts, which they were able to
    30        scan through and analyse.  I think most of those people are
    31        referred to in the notes and references.
    32
    33        Now, I am going to quickly go through some of the points in
    34        it.  I am definitely going to finish today.  The only thing
    35        is, it might be a little bit chaotic and all over the
    36        place, because there are just sort of the bits and pieces
    37        that have not already cropped up in what I have already
    38        said, extra documents.  I did note somewhere in this, and I
    39        don't know if I made a - just to remember, when I come to
    40        it, that I think Mr. Walker said they had 59 abattoirs
         supplying McKeys.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   He did, did he?
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:   Yes.  I will come to that.  I think I have made a
    46        note of it, where it is.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   So you think you were right, were you, that
    49        the much smaller figure that I had in mind for Mr. Oakley
    50        was just the ones he had actually been to himself?
    51
    52   MR. MORRIS:   I think so.  He did give the impression that might
    53        be the whole amount, but that would only serve to show how
    54        out of touch he was with reality.  Day 79, page 36, if this
    55        reference be right, McKey gets meat from 59 suppliers.
    56        There is also another reference, day 77, pages 20 and 21,
    57        for that same paragraph in these notes.  So it is possible
    58        it is one of those two.  It is on page 42 of this set of
    59        notes.  So one of those, no doubt, will contain that
    60        information, if these are accurate.  I am trying to
