Day 260 - 11 Jun 96 - Page 41
1 photograph?" I have said, "Yes, I do, but I cannot stop
2 you, provided you do not get in my way." To interfere with
3 an advocate is as much a contempt as it is with a witness.

5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not minded to say anything unless some
6 formal step is taken. For all I know, the Defendants want
7 to take photographs of them and send them to all their
8 friends and say, "Look, if these people turn up, you will
9 know they are inquiry agents." Is there anything unlawful
10 about that?
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: Not if they send them to their friends, no.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. Very well. Yes.
15
16 MS. STEEL: I think we are on 16th June now.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have checked against Mrs. Brinley-Codd's
19 index, and I think I have got my own notes all in order
20 now. My only query is that 10th October 1989,
21 Mr. Pocklington has pages 1 to 13 and I have just got five
22 pages. 21st April 1990, I think, is actually the 12th.
23 There are one or two other very small matters, but unless
24 I am missing something in the notes of 2nd October, I think
25 I have made up my own bundle; and if there is any
26 difficulty, I am quite happy that it should come out in the
27 wash.
28
29 MR. RAMPTON: The reason may be, my Lord, what your Lordship has
30 not transferred are the documents, those things which
31 Mr. Pocklington collected.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have left those behind.
34
35 MR. RAMPTON: They have been included in the pagination.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Which dates were you -----
38
39 MS. STEEL: Sorry? On 16th June. There is the statement, the
40 fourth statement, which will be in tab D. The reference to
41 16th June is on page 4, and then there are the notes of
42 16th June.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Carry on.
45
46 MS. STEEL: (To the witness) Where it says in your statement
47 that: "On 16th June, an anti-poll tax march was to be held
48 from Smithfield to Finsbury Park which was supposed to be
49 supported by members of London Greenpeace", you just
50 basically mean there that someone had said that they
51 thought that so and so would probably be attending, various
52 people who usually went to London Greenpeace or sometimes
53 went to London Greenpeace?
54 A. Members at a meeting would have said that they intended
55 attending the meeting, yes.
56
57 Q. Or that other people -- for example, Paul might have said,
58 "Helen and Dave will be going"?
59 A. Whatever. I cannot be specific on each one.
