     3   MS. STEEL:   I have not got my papers out yet.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I dare say you have been talking to counsel.
     6        You must try and stick to the timetable.  I am not averse
     7        to you having a few minutes now and again, but we really
     8        have to start at half past 10 every morning.  If it
     9        involves you making arrangements so that you can be here at
    10        10 to talk about anything, you must do that.  Otherwise,
    11        I am just going to start at 10.30, come what may.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  Can I just say some things while the Defendants
    14        are organising themselves?
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  Mrs. Brinley-Codd overnight did what she
    19        understood your Lordship was going to do on your account.
    20        She has produced a file with the inquiry agents' notes
         chronologically inside the file, and paginated.  If your
    22        Lordship would like one of those, if your Lordship would
    23        like a paginated bundle identical to the one that the
    24        witness has and the one that I have -----
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would, if I had not spent over two hours
    27        last night doing it myself.
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  I know that your Lordship said you were going to
    30        do it yourself last night.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Apart from anything else, I had various
    33        copies; and what I have done is filleted out ones -- for
    34        instance, I have double copies of some; some are not quite
    35        the same; where they are not quite the same, I have kept
    36        the fuller copies in and taken the lesser copies out.
    37        I have already made some underlinings.
    38
    39   MR. RAMPTON:  We can certainly produce ------
    40
    MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think the answer probably is that I had
    42        better have the one you have, as well, because I must have
    43        whatever the witness has; and when we have been going for a
    44        while, I will see which I prefer to work on.
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  We will do it overnight, so that your Lordship has
    47        that as an additional one.  The other thing we have done is
    48        to copy the photographs which we produced yesterday.
    49        I suggest that those go into volume pink 2 at tab 5A, since
    50        all, except for the photographs of Mr. Morris, relate to 
    51        the demonstration on 16th October 1989.  There are three 
    52        sets. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  Just on the documents, a question.  It would be
    55        helpful if we had the same as everyone else as well, if it
    56        is possible.  I am not saying that the Plaintiffs have to
    57        do that, but it would be helpful in getting through this.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You obviously should have copies of the
    60        bundles, or at least an index, so that can make up your
