Day 261 - 12 Jun 96 - Page 09

2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Were you actually given instructions to go
3 back to the next meeting, or did you just carry on of your
4 own volition going to meetings and reporting on them until
5 you were told to pull out? Can you remember? You
6 reported -----
7 A. Yes, I understand.
8
9 Q. You reported on the following day, by and large, after a
10 particular meeting?
11 A. Yes.
12
13 Q. Was there then an instruction: "We would like you to go
14 back to the next meeting", or did you just choose for
15 yourself?
16 A. No. As far as I can recall, I would have been told
17 which meetings to attend.
18
19 MS. STEEL: On the following page, you go on: "As stated" --
20 presumably, that is in a part that is blanked out, because
21 it is not in the notes that we have got -- "the meeting
22 ended at 22" -----
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What did you say? Let us check with that,
25 because it may be important later. Do you see what
26 Ms. Steel ---
27 A. Yes, I understand.
28
29 Q. -- is referring to?
30 A. Yes. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is in the
31 blanked -- or what was in the blanked out part.
32
33 MS. STEEL: You probably would not have put "as stated" unless
34 you had already stated it?
35 A. I would, presumably, have said that the meeting ended
36 at whenever it was, 22.00 hours.
37
38 Q. "As stated, the meeting ended at 22.00 hours and only four
39 people went to the Eliza Doolittle public house. These
40 were myself, Shelley, Kathy and, later, Charlie. He, too,
41 seemed to be more reserved than normal. The only items of
42 interest from the whole meeting was as follows" -- and then
43 what is going on.
44
45 There are details of a picket which was being organised by
46 Dalston -- sorry, by Hackney and Islington Animal Rights
47 group, knocked down, as you previously recorded; and that
48 is a picket on 16th October of Dalston Junction
49 McDonald's. Then there is a list of London Greenpeace
50 pickets?
51 A. Yes.
52
53 Q. Actually, are you sure that the first one of those was
54 London Greenpeace, as opposed to Hackney and Islington?
55 A. I cannot be sure now one way or the other.
56
57 Q. Then there are two other pickets, and you have a note
58 saying that the timings may not be accurate. Subject to
59 those corrections, that is your recollection, is it?
60 A. Yes.
