     1        contact the group, there was no...  Unincorporated.
     2
     3   Q.   You had the address?
     4        A.  Well, we had written, as we had once before, and had no
     5        response, so...
     6
     7   Q.   You have agreed ----
     8        A.  We went to the party.
     9
    10   Q.   You have agreed you do not know whether you got a response
    11        or not?
    12        A.  We had no response to the first letter.
    13
    14   Q.   If you did have no response, it could have been because the
    15        letter got lost in the post, could it not, so that is not a
    16        reason for not writing again?
    17        A.  The fact remains we asked Greenpeace if they had any
    18        knowledge of yourselves.  They knew of you, and disavowed
    19        any link.
    20
    21   Q.   Just getting on to the point I was asking you about
    22        before.  We got a bit side-tracked.  How soon after the
    23        leaflet came into your possession -- the fact sheet we are
    24        being sued over -- was it that you spoke to Mr. Nicholson?
    25        A.  In 1989.  I do not remember the exact date.  I think
    26        '89, it must have been summertime, autumn time, September
    27        time, when I had said, "Sid, we have got to find out more
    28        about it, will you handle, sir".
    29
    30   Q.   Right.  The situation was that you took no action over the
    31        leaflet for two years approximately?
    32        A.  That is about right.
    33
    34   Q.   Right.
    35        A.  Other than tell our people to keep and continue
    36        monitoring what is happening.
    37
    38   Q.   Mr. Nicholson said in his statement that he had visited the
    39        London Greenpeace fayre in October 1988.  Were you aware of
    40        that?
    41        A.  That he visited the fayre, yes.  He visited several
    42        fayres over several years, I believe.
    43
    44   Q.   Yes but this was before the Company had taken any action?
    45        A.  Yes.
    46
    47   Q.   You were aware of that?
    48        A.  Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   Was it your instructions he should go to the fayre? 
    51        A.  I do not know if they were my instructions or not.  He 
    52        certainly went. 
    53
    54   Q.   Did he give you any feedback on what he found out?
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   Q.   What was it he told you?
    58        A.  He told me in general what had gone on, what he had
    59        seen.
