     2   Q.   And it is a photocopy made by London Greenpeace, is it not?
     3        A.   I do not know.  I do not remember photocopying this.
     4        What are you trying to say?  I do not know.
     5
     6   Q.   Am I not right that what, in fact, happened was the leaflet
     7        itself was six-sided, which was not got up like that but it
     8        was a fold-out leaflet, they were beginning to be in short
     9        supply towards the end of 1989, copies were made, which is
    10        cheap and easy, for the purpose of demonstrations and for
    11        the fayre in 1989?
    12        A.   Well, there is nothing on this to say that it was done
    13        for 1989.  This could have been done at any time and, to
    14        the best of my knowledge, copies were not photocopied and
    15        taken to the fayre in 1989.  To the best of my knowledge.
    16        I certainly did not do it.  I did not see anyone else do it
    17        either.
    18
    19   Q.   Was there a copying machine in the office at 5 Caledonian
    20        Road or not?
         A.   No.
    22
    23   Q.   So where was the copying done when it needed to be?
    24        A.  At various places.
    25
    26   Q.   Locally, I suppose, because it is easier, is it not?
    27        A.   Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   Can you put that down now and make sure it does not get
    30        lost?
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Could I just ask one thing, Mr. Rampton, you
    33        may not want to answer it, but is there any risk of your
    34        clients taking any action against anyone for something like
    35        copying these leaflets at the time you are asking questions
    36        about?  The reason I ask, and again you need not answer,
    37        and for all I know you have no authority to answer anyway,
    38        is that I have raised it now with Mr. Gravett but I can see
    39        exactly the same thing might arise if either Ms. Steel or
    40        Mr. Morris gives evidence, that there may be a reluctance
         to answer a question such as the one you have just asked
    42        with a specific answer.  You have been perfectly content
    43        with places locally, if it is thought that it might be
    44        landing someone in the mire by saying just who did it.  Do
    45        you understand?
    46
    47   MR. RAMPTON:   The answer is I have not got authority.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.
    50
    51   MR. RAMPTON:  Let me say I think it is almost quite
    52        inconceivable, quite apart from the statute of
    53        limitations.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what I thought.  You understand what
    56        I just asked?
    57        A.  I do, yes.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
