MR RICHARD
At this juncture Chairperson, with your leave, there is a procedural matter I would like to put on record.  As will appear from the record, since last week I have repeatedly been requesting access to the transcript of the trial record of the prosecution against Mr McBride.   While true it has been brought to this hearing, it is important to put on record that to date I have not been given those volumes which contain the indictments and the ancillary supporting documents, the admissions or the evidence of Mr McBride.  I still, when I received documents over the weekend, those volumes were missing.  I raised this point and it was not corrected.  It must be seen against the context that the strenuous opposition to Volume C, Exhibit C was a topic of argument yesterday.
	During that argument mention was made of other documents referred to in Exhibit C, it seems as if there is only one consistent inference to be drawn from this refusal or failure to get the documents into my possession.  We know and I think it is now important to put it on record, that there are various contradictory and conflicting versions of various incidents contained in all three documents and I think that there is a constructive effort underway to prevent access to the contradicting documents so as to prevent cross-examination on them, but I will leave the point till later, I have put it on record, and I will deal with it in cross-examination.
