     1        it because he realised he was not going to get anywhere,
     2        because I was telling the truth.
     3
     4        The other thing, the other part, I have tried to find out
     5        the bits of my evidence where this demonstration was
     6        referred to.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:   The other part-----
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I think I have a note of them.  If you give
    13        them to me I will make sure I have not missed something.
    14
    15   MS. STEEL:   The other part was day 276.  There was a bit where
    16        I was referring to the photographs of the demonstration and
    17        the fact that you can see in some photographs that the
    18        leaflets that people are holding are the A5, or the short
    19        version of the leaflet, any one of the A5 versions, bearing
    20        in mind there were lots done by different groups, but
    21        rather you can see that they are not the fact sheet.  I
    22        mean, I accept that there are some where you just cannot
    23        tell at all what the leaflet is but there are certainly
    24        ones where you can tell that they are not the fact sheet,
    25        and I do not think and my evidence was that I could not see
    26        any leaflets which you could distinguish as definitely
    27        being the fact sheet.  Obviously, that would be the fact
    28        sheet of either version, either the Veggies one or the
    29        London Greenpeace.  You could not actually clearly see
    30        either of those in the photographs.
    31
    32        That was on day 276, pages 17 to 21.  Then the other part
    33        was on day 277, when I was being cross-examined by
    34        Mr. Rampton and he was asking me about the Veggies fact
    35        sheet being handed out on 16th October 1988, and I said
    36        that it was quite possible that somebody could have brought
    37        that version to the picket, a few copies of that to hand
    38        out in case somebody asked for more information, which
    39        would be available in the more detailed, lengthy version.
    40
    41   MR JUSTICE BELL:  There was actually no -- was there any
    42        positive evidence from anyone that anyone did bring Veggies
    43        fact sheet to the meeting?   I know there were lots of
    44        suggestions it might be this, it might be that.
    45
    46   MS. STEEL:   Yes, well -----
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   If -- and I stress 'if' -- I were to accept
    49        Mr. Nicholson's evidence that you and another woman were by
    50        a holdall which had a pile of leaflets on or near it, I did 
    51        not actually hear any evidence from any of your witnesses, 
    52        did I, as to there being any such pile and what the 
    53        leaflets were?
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:   No, you heard evidence from Mr. Gravett that he
    56        brought the leaflets to the picket, and he only brought A5
    57        leaflets.  He did not bring any fact sheets, be they London
    58        Greenpeace ones or Veggies ones.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
