     1        could you?
     2        A.   No, that is correct.
     3
     4   Q.   You used to follow people home?
     5        A.  I may have on occasion.  Probably not followed because
     6        I had a car.
     7
     8   Q.   Right.  So how would you check out somebody's address?
     9        A.   If we had, or if I had an address which I believed a
    10        member of the group would have resided at, I would have
    11        driven to the vicinity of that address and waited to see if
    12        they turned up.
    13
    14   Q.   But you went off to check their addresses and that is
    15        plural.  How could you do that?
    16        A.   I do not recall.  If I was on my own, then it would
    17        have been a mistake and it should have been "address", but
    18        if I met up with somebody afterwards it could be
    19        "addresses".
    20
    Q.   Did you have other sources where you could use to find out
    22        people's addresses?
    23        A.   Not at all.
    24
    25   Q.   Not at all?
    26        A.   No.
    27
    28   Q.   What, never?
    29        A.   No.
    30
    31   Q.   Your investigation agency did not have any contacts who it
    32        could use to find out who was living at what address?
    33        A.  I do not know.  My investigation was joining the group
    34        and my reports or my notes were given to the company
    35        involved.  What additional enquiries they may have carried
    36        out, I do not know.
    37
    38   Q.   We have heard from Mr. Nicholson that he had a lot of
    39        contacts, he had contacts in the Police, and that all the
    40        security department at McDonald's had contacts in the
         Police who they might be able to get information about
    42        protestors from.  Did you have similar contacts?
    43        A.  I have contacts in the Police, yes, but none of whom I
    44        would have recalled using at that time.
    45
    46   Q.   Contacts in the Police who would give you information about
    47        people who you were investigating?
    48        A.   No, not at all.
    49
    50   Q.   Not at all?
    51        A.  Not at all.
    52
    53   Q.   Well, what were the contacts in the Police for?
    54        A.   They are contacts for points of order, points of law,
    55        what would happen in a case, what would happen next, what
    56        would happen in an investigation.
    57
    58   Q.   So are you saying you never got any information from them
    59        about anybody you were investigating and in particular in
    60        this investigation?
