                    Pottinger, and I’d like them handed to the clerk, the original ones, so that I can
                    view them and they will be returned in due course.



                    MR POTTINGER: What — what he gave me was — was in fact the same
           B        statement you have.


                    THE RECORDER: Right. He said - he referred to some — there was - as though there

                    THE RECORDER: Can I see that now? That’ll be fine.

                    MR POTTINGER: I just mention matters outside — I think there was a -- the fixed

                    MR POTTINGER:  -----the original file would come through on appeal. The way

                    THE RECORDER: One of the problems with non-paper cases is that very often it’s
