     1        document.  I did try and make inquiries last night, and
     2        I was not able to.  I phoned Mr. Pearson to ask his
     3        opinion, but he was not there.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not having any adjournments to find out
     6        the law, having got this far and having had literally
     7        hundreds of questions which have assumed that the law is
     8        this or that, 18 months into the evidence.
     9
    10        Yes.  Mr. Cox, none of that concerns you.  Let Mr. Cox be
    11        sworn or affirmed.
    12
    13                       CHRISTOPHER JOHN COX, sworn
    14                       Examined by MR. RAMPTON Q.C.
    15
    16   Q.    Mr. Cox, is your full name Christopher Cox?
    17        A.  Sorry?
    18
    19   Q.   My fault -- it is very difficult to hear in this court.
    20        I sometimes mumble.  Is your full name Christopher Cox?
         A.  It is Christopher John Cox.
    22
    23   Q.   Mr. Cox, do you think you could find on the shelves behind
    24        you a file with a yellow back which should have "XB" on
    25        it.  I hope you can turn to the divider inside which is
    26        marked (I hope it is) "I", and you should find the
    27        statement made by you, with your name at the top.
    28        A.  I do not believe so.  (Pause)
    29
    30   Q.   Have you got it now?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   Has it your name at the top?
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   It has eight pages.  If you turn to the back, please, has
    37        it got your signature at the bottom?
    38        A.  Yes, it has.
    39
    40   Q.   Is it dated 18th November 1995?
         A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   Have you read this statement recently?
    44        A.  Yes.
    45
    46   Q.   Are its contents true?
    47        A.  Apart from section 4, it says -----
    48
    49   Q.   I will ask you about that in a minute.  I am just going to
    50        ask you a very few questions, Mr. Cox, and one question by 
    51        way of clarification in relation to paragraph 31 at the 
    52        end.  Is it still true that you are 21 years of age? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   Starting in paragraph 1.  What 'A' Levels did you do?
    56        I know you resat them, but eventually you obtained some
    57        'A' Levels with the grades you wanted.  That is
    58        paragraph 3.  What subjects did you do?
    59        A.  Business Studies and Psychology.
