     2   Q.   So, when you were in the pub, you were trying to talk to
     3        Charlie about the writs, and he was not being very
     4        forthcoming?
     5        A.  I have not said that; and I do not know that I did.
     6
     7   Q.   Right.  But you might have done?
     8        A.  It is a possibility.
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:  Can I just make a note, which is that I am not
    11        sure -- because Mr. Bishop was referred to a copy of the
    12        fact sheet yesterday that was behind his statement.  It is
    13        clearly not the one that he took, because it is the same
    14        one that has been photocopied behind all the statements.
    15        When I went to check the originals at Barlow Lyde &
    16        Gilbert, there was not one for Mr. Bishop.  I do not know
    17        whether I need to raise that, or what.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You can only raise it with Mr. Bishop at the
    20        moment, because he is in the witness box.  He cannot, I do
         not suppose, tell you what Barlow Lyde & Gilbert have or do
    22        not have, but you can question him -- I think you already
    23        have done, but you can pursue it if you like -- on
    24        precisely what he delivered to Barlow Lyde & Gilbert or
    25        (more likely) to Kings ---
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:   Right.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- for onward transmission if they chose.
    30        But I think you can only ask Mr. Bishop about matters which
    31        he might know about himself.
    32
    33   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  (To the witness)  Can you remember exactly
    34        which leaflets you gave to Kings?
    35        A.  No, not now.
    36
    37   Q.   Right.  So, unless it was specifically noted in your
    38        notes ---
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    Q.   -- explaining which version of whatever leaflet it was, you
    42        cannot tell?
    43        A.  No.  At that time, I would not have known that there
    44        was any particular relevance to be placed on any particular
    45        leaflet.
    46
    47   MS. STEEL:  Right.  OK.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  Does that mean that there is, in fact, no
    50        evidence ----- 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, you cannot ask questions like that. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  I am just saying, we do not have to ask any further
    55        questions, if the witness says he does not remember which
    56        leaflets he handed to the -----
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have not heard all the evidence yet.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:  But in terms -----
