Day 109 - 28 Mar 95 - Page 04

     
     1        seems to me it was probably turned up to 80 so that he
     2        could see whatever he wanted to see.
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:  I think Dr. Pattison did actually say they could be
     5        turned up.  I do not know whether he said to what level.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have not heard anything about whether they
     8        were turned up or not one way or the other when the walks
     9        were done, that I recall.
    10
    11   MS. STEEL (To the witness):  You mentioned about individual
    12        birds yesterday and that being in the Codes of Practice?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It was in the regulations.
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:  Yes.  I just happened to find this last night
    18        actually in Dr. Gregory's bundle, orange -----
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Volume V of the orange ones, it maybe the
         last one?
    22        A.  It is missing actually.
    23
    24   Q.   They may be out of order.
    25
    26   MS. STEEL:  If you turn to tab G on page 303?
    27        A.  Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   Perhaps you could read out the last paragraph, paragraph
    30        40?
    31        A.  "Frequent inspection of the stock is essential because
    32        the condition and reactions of the birds are the main
    33        guides to their welfare.  An inspection must be made at
    34        least once daily in addition to the looking-over which
    35        birds receive during routine management work ... injured or
    36        dead birds should be removed promptly, as should individual
    37        sick birds".
    38
    39   Q.   Is that the part you were referring to yesterday?
    40        A.  No.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, she was referring to regulations, but I
    43        have read the regulations.
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:  I think you also mention the codes as well?
    46        A.  No, I was not.  I was referring, I think, to the
    47        beginning of the Codes where they say that nobody should
    48        set up a new -- nobody should extend or set up a new
    49        unit  -----
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You specifically referred to the regulations 
    52        yesterday and at the moment I agreed with you, it looks as 
    53        if they refer to individual animals rather than livestock
    54        generally, having read the regulations.
    55        A.  Yes, I -----
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:  I do not know whether it matters, I just happened to
    58        notice it last night -----
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You cannot do better than regulations.
