1 not find the complete version when I looked for it. I
2 then asked to have a fresh copy sent and it was
3 incomplete. In the incomplete part that I looked at
4 I could find nothing of relevance. I have not had the time
5 to look at a complete version again because it was in court
6 over the weekend. If I find, as I said before, that there
7 is something of relevance, I will certainly reveal it. In
8 accordance with your Lordship's indication on a previous
9 occasion, I might well be advised to uncover the whole
10 document.

12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: My view is at the moment (and I will hear
13 what everyone has to say in due course) that I really
14 cannot attach any significance, certain significance, to
15 the underlining, since, presumably, somewhere, whether
16 anyone has been able to find it or not, there must have
17 been some explanation at some time of what the underlining
18 meant. We have not had that; I may from other evidence
19 from outside the document -- I really cannot remember what
20 the evidence was now -- be able to reach some kind of
21 conclusion if it really is important as to how many
22 one-page inserts there were before one went to two only.
23 But at the moment I am not inclined to make it from an
24 underlining about which there has been speculation but no
25 clarity whatsoever.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: I thought Mr. Green might remember, so I asked him
28 if he could remember what the significance was and he says:
29 "Well, I am not sure".
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You are just making a deduction, it seems to
32 me, Mr. Green, which any outsider on the same information
33 might or might not feel able to make?
34 A. Yes, I do not remember for sure.
35
36 MR. RAMPTON: In fact, I think, my Lord, it was the other way
37 around. It was two pages and then one.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Two then one.
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: If it were so, of course, it would be significant
42 because what it would show was that the two-page
43 advertisements to which the Attorneys General had objected,
44 the detail -----
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I appreciate that, but it was always
47 planned and the second pages were not taken out under
48 pressure. I understand that.
49
50 MR. RAMPTON: Not only that; if this were right, the last of the
51 two-page advertisements would have terminated at the time
52 when the complaint was first received which was not until
53 April.
54
55 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I am merely declaring that at the
56 moment I do not feel able to attach any significance one
57 way or the other to the underlinings.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: No, I see. (To the witness): One final document
60 to look at, Mr. Green. It is in the yellow file V,
