Day 250 - 15 May 96 - Page 33
1 at the end of the day you put your argument anyway on the
2 basis that you do not know, several of those people at that
3 meeting might have been private investigators, and I make
4 of your argument what I will one way or the other. But
5 that is the way, it seems to me at the moment, it breaks
6 down.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: OK.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can we back at 2.00, or do you need the full
11 hour?
12
13 MR. MORRIS: It is very difficult for us to get back here ----
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am only asking.
16
17 MR. MORRIS: We always have to rush.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Five past two.

21 (Luncheon adjournment)
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: One thing I did not add at five past one and
24 it is, perhaps, obvious. If the identity of the inquiry
25 agents is not coming by any other means, of course when
26 inquiry agents go into the witness box you will be able to
27 answer them who the other inquiry agents were.
28
29 MS. STEEL: Right. OK. I do not know, you should have a copy
30 of the letter I have given to Barlow Lyde & Gilbert.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You can certainly hand me one for my own
33 information.
34
35 MS. STEEL: Yes. You said something about Bishops being ending
36 in July 1990 but that they served the writs?
37 A. Yes.
38
39 Q. So he just came back to do that job?
40 A. Yes.
41
42 Q. Do you know a company called Westhall Services?
43 A. Sorry?
44
45 Q. Do you know a company called Westhall Services?
46 A. No, not that I know of.
47
48 MR. RAMPTON: That is easy. Bishops is the trading name of
49 Westhall Services London. It is the same company?
50 A. I did not know.
51
52 MS. STEEL: Can I just say, when you gave your
53 evidence-in-chief... No, it was not, it was during
54 cross-examination, you said that you had had myself and Mr.
55 Gravett identified and then you said, "I had at that time
56 made up my mind, I had interviewed teams to do
57 observations." Who were the teams?
58 A. The agencies.
59
60 Q. Did you meet more than one person from each agency?
