     1        with enthusiasm about proposals for the London Greenpeace
     2        Fayre on 27th October 1990 at Conway Hall.  It was the
     3        third year that the group had organised the Fayre and he
     4        stated that one of the themes would be anti-McDonald's."

     6        Then you said, "The meeting broke up at 10 [in the
     7        evening].  Leaflets placed in piles were collected by me
     8        and by others and I attach at appendix 'JR2' copies of the
     9        leaflets I picked up that day."  I will refer you to that
    10        in a minute.
    11
    12        Going back to the previous paragraph, how big was this room
    13        at 6 Endsleigh Street?
    14        A.  It is quite a large meeting room.  I would say 20 to 25
    15        feet long and 12 to 15 feet wide.
    16
    17   Q.   At the time when, as you say, Mr. Morris was controlling
    18        proceedings, what distance would there have been between
    19        you and him?
    20        A.  I recall sitting diagonally opposite him at the
    21        meeting.
    22
    23   Q.   You were sitting.  Was he sitting or standing?
    24        A.  We were both sitting.
    25
    26   Q.   Do you recognise that document, Mr. Russell?
    27        A.  Yes, I do.
    28
    29   Q.   When was the first time you saw that document?
    30        A.  That evening, the same evening I went to the meeting on
    31        the 26th April 1990.
    32
    33   Q.   Where was it?
    34        A.  I recall that a lot of leaflets were in piles at the
    35        end of the meeting room table.
    36
    37   Q.   Was that one of them?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   How big were the piles?
    41        A.  I would say half inch to three quarters of an inch
    42        high.
    43
    44   Q.   What did you understand Mr. Morris to mean by the
    45        "customary McDonald's fact sheet"?
    46        A.  Well, I understood it to be this very thing here, which
    47        you have given me.
    48
    49   Q.   Thank you.  Could I ask you now to look at a different
    50        file.  It is a blue file, Mr. Riley, right at the end.  It 
    51        is unlike all the others.  My Lord, thanks to an error in 
    52        counsel's chambers -- and I do apologise for this -- the 
    53        date of this report -- Mr. Russell, please, page 112 of
    54        that blue bundle.  (Copies of a document handed out).
    55        Mr. Russell, could I ask you to put that sheet which you
    56        have just received in place of page 112, and if you have a
    57        pen about your person to write 112 at the bottom of it.
    58
    59        My Lord, I apologise.  When we prepared this report,
    60        because we do not have any notes for Mr. Russell's visit --
