     1        A.  Not at the time.
     2
     3   Q.   But you know of him now?
     4        A.  I know of him now.
     5
     6   Q.   He was at some of the meetings that you attended?
     7        A.  He was at one, I believe.
     8
     9   Q.   Right.
    10        A.  I believe my first meeting was his last.
    11
    12   Q.   Were you brought in to replace him?
    13        A.  It would seem that way, but I was not aware of that at
    14        the time.
    15
    16   Q.   You did not get told, after you had reported on him, that
    17        he was another inquiry agent?
    18        A.  I do not think I knew anything about Mr. Pocklington
    19        until I finished my involvement with the case.
    20
    21   MR. MORRIS:  Probably the last question.  You said that you have
    22        used the notes that you did at the time to refresh your
    23        memory in making the statement -- used them to make the
    24        statement?
    25        A.  The reports that were submitted from the notes that
    26        I made at the time, yes.
    27
    28   Q.   Sorry.  The statement is based upon the notes that you made
    29        at the time.  The notes of the other meetings that you
    30        attended, did you also read them while you were preparing
    31        the statement?
    32        A.  No, because I did not keep copies.
    33
    34   Q.   But what I am saying is, was it the solicitors that
    35        selectively chose which notes and which meetings were
    36        significant?
    37        A.  I see what you mean.
    38
    39   Q.   Did you have all the records from your time at Kings and
    40        then start to make a statement based on those notes?
    41        A.  The statements were made by the solicitors.  I was
    42        asked if I agreed with them, which I obviously did, and
    43        I signed them.
    44
    45   Q.   So it was the -----
    46        A.  How they compiled them, I cannot really answer.
    47
    48   Q.   I see.  So, the solicitors wrote the statements taken from
    49        your notes?
    50        A.  I would imagine so, yes. 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:  Would they have got information from any other 
    53        source, to your knowledge?
    54        A.  I would have no knowledge of that.  The statements that
    55        I signed were relevant to the work that I had actually
    56        carried out myself.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  But the impressions about the way that the group
    59        worked, or whatever, that did not apply to a specific week,
    60        would have related to all the notes that you had taken?
