note: 9209 A. Gottesfeld (for Plaintiffs) Cross-exam by Mr. Willms 1 October 28, 1988 2 Vancouver, B.C. 3 4 (PROCEEDINGS RECONVENED AT 10:00 a.m.) 5 6 THE REGISTRAR: Order in court. In the Supreme Court of British 7 Columbia, Vancouver, this Friday, October 28th, 1988, 8 in the matter of Delgamuukw versus Her Majesty the 9 Queen at bar. 10 Caution the witness, you are still under oath. 11 THE COURT: Mr. Willms. 12 MR. WILLMS: 13 Q My lord. 14 Dr. Gottesfeld, when we adjourned last day, we 15 were at Exhibit 785 on page 14, and I had asked you 16 whether or not you used soil pit 13.
