     2   Q.   Roughly speaking, do you remember where you were sitting?
     3        Can you do it by reference to people?
     4        A.  Yes.  I think I was sitting in the row in front of the
     5        lady at the back.
     6
     7   Q.   Right.  How far towards the end, do you think?
     8        A.  Probably one person, one or two people in from the end.
     9
    10   Q.   So you could see, I take it, the backs of the Defendants'
    11        heads?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   You said that there was an elderly couple sitting in the
    15        row in front of you?
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You made the statement, and you are saying
    18        the contents of the statement are true, are you,
    19        Mr. Howes?
    20        A.  Yes, I am.
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  I am sorry, my Lord.  An elderly couple in the row
    23        precisely in front of you?
    24        A.  I cannot quite remember.  It was either the row
    25        precisely in front of me or the row in front of that.
    26
    27   Q.   And you thought they looked like tourists?
    28        A.  Yes. American tourists, they looked like.
    29
    30   Q.   American tourists?
    31        A.  Yes -- from their dress.
    32
    33   Q.   And of the two -- I assume they were male and female?
    34        A.  That is right.
    35
    36   Q.   The woman, apparently, was holding an A4 size photocopy of
    37        the leaflet complained of?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   Are you familiar with the leaflet complained of in this
    41        case?

    43
    44   Q.   How is that?
    45        A.  I have had some involvement in the preparation of the
    46        case.
    47
    48   Q.   I should have asked you, are you, in fact, a solicitor?
    49        A.  I am, yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   What do we call them -- assistant solicitors, nowadays? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   In Barlow Lyde & Gilbert?
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   Q.   You say in your statement that the copy of the leaflet
    58        complained of that you had seen was A4 size?
