Mr. Hampton: Apply for adjournment of 1 further day. Reason is to
complete certain inquiries set on foot on Friday
consequent on examination of files produced by
Mr. Donnelly. Mr. Gunston supports application.
Ir. Sceats: I can't take any objection.
Court adjourned to 10 a.m. on 25/11/75

Coran: A. Garcia, D.J. in Court.
Court resumes at 10 a.m.
Appearances as before.
Mr. Hampton: Apply for a further day's adjournment until tomorrow.
Reason for the adjournment is same as that of yesterday. Circumstances are that throughout yesterday using the utmost diligence inquiry which both Defence solicitors were pursuing jointly came to nothing until about 6.15 p.m. when the required information which would permit inquiry to be meaningful came to light. Can assure Court whether or not these inquiries prove fruitful - both Mr. Gunston and I believe them to be of the utmost importance and in the interests of justice. No further application for adjournment will be made on this matter.
Hr. Gunston: That is entirely correct. I also mentioned that through
absolutely no fault of ours this information did not
come earlier. It was asked for and did not surface until 6 p.m. yesterday.
Fr. Sceats: In some difficulty would not want to adjourn. Will
leave it to Your Honour.
