     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Look, if I give you extended time and say I
     6        am prepared to start late in order to help you to get
     7        prepared you must be right on the button when the extended
     8        time comes and break off whatever you are doing in time to
     9        be ready.
    10
    11   MS. STEEL:  Yes.  Sorry.  Actually the witness has got some more
    12        recent copies of pamphlets which were already in the

    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, let us see where we get to.

    27   MS. STEEL:   Available and in stock yesterday.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes, well, if they do not have anything new
    30        there is absolutely no need to refer to them, and if they
    31        are significantly new we will have to look at them and see
    32        whether they should go in at all.  Do not take them into
    33        the witness box with you, please, Miss Brophy.
