Day 263 - 14 Jun 96 - Page 63


     
     1        A.  That may well have been the case and I may, on
     2        reflection, have mistaken the fact that I completed a
     3        report so quickly afterwards as being my contemporaneous
     4        notes which, in fact, I did not complete.  I did not
     5        complete notes at the meeting.  I went away and did a
     6        report almost immediately afterwards, which is why I later
     7        rescinded that paragraph.
     8
     9   Q.   If it was immediately afterwards it would have been
    10        virtually contemporaneous, would it not, or was it the next
    11        day you made your report?
    12        A.  Contemporaneous notes are certainly made at the time,
    13        and I did not make such notes.  I went away and wrote a
    14        report.
    15
    16   Q.   That was the next day?
    17        A.  Either ---
    18
    19   Q.   This -----
    20        A.  -- the same night or the next morning.  I would have
    21        thought the same night.  It was the custom to produce a
    22        written report as soon as possible after assignments.
    23
    24   Q.   You said that you do not remember Jonathan, who you say was
    25        chairing the meeting?
    26        A.  I do not recall.
    27
    28   Q.   He might have been from New Zealand; yes?
    29        A.  I know somebody there was from New Zealand, but
    30        I cannot recollect.
    31
    32   Q.   Well, if you look in your paragraph under "introductions",
    33        in your -----
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  He has to be referred to a document.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  I am sorry -- in the report of Kings Investigation
    38        Bureau.
    39
    40   MR. RAMPTON:  Page 112, my Lord.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry.  Maybe if you just take that report out and
    45        put it next to you, or something.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  It is in a separate bundle.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  It says, in the large paragraph in the middle of
    50        the page:" The chairman Jonathan", et cetera, and then you 
    51        said later, three lines down: "A man was present who did 
    52        not give his name, although he stated he was from 
    53        Kings Cross.  He was aged 45 to 50 years and had a slight
    54        Australian or New Zealand accent."
    55
    56        Do you how old Jonathan was or is?
    57        A.  No, I do not.
    58
    59   Q.   We have seen a picture of him.  He is considerably younger
    60        than 45 to 50, so you may have mixed those two people up
