Day 259 - 10 Jun 96 - Page 76


     
     1        amount to, I think, about a dozen, including 17th May.
     2        Does that sound right or is that a huge under statement?
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have got 11 on my list.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  It should be 12.
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, I think it is 12.
     9        A.  With a couple of exceptions, I seem to recall attending
    10        meetings every week.
    11
    12   Q.   Sometimes at 5 Caledonian Road and sometimes at 6 Endsleigh
    13        Street, is that right?
    14        A.  Yes, there were weeks where I did not attend any.
    15
    16   Q.   Then I think you also went to -- I do not know what to call
    17        it; I think you would call it a "mini fare" at Finsbury
    18        Park?
    19        A.  Yes, I did.
    20
    21   Q.   Followed by a visit to the George Roby, or is it the Sir
    22        George Roby public house?
    23        A.  Yes, that is correct.
    24
    25   Q.   I think that was on 16th June, 1990.  Can I ask you this?
    26        The Defendants have recently -- in fact Friday, I think it
    27        was -- on Friday have said that when -- do you remember
    28        your description of the Finsbury Park mini fare where there
    29        was a rickety table with some leaflets?
    30        A.  Yes, I do.
    31
    32   Q.   Including some anti-McDonald's material?
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   And a poster, I think, advertising the Day of Action on
    36        16th October?
    37        A.  Yes, there was.
    38
    39   Q.   The Defendants now say that when the party went to the
    40        George Roby public house you went with them?
    41        A.  I did.
    42
    43   Q.   That you, on that occasion, later on that same day 16th
    44        June 1990, you, yourself, handed out anti-McDonald's
    45        leaflets; is that true or false?
    46        A.  That is incorrect.  I attended at the George Roby
    47        public house with two others, and all three of us were
    48        standing by the table which had been erected just inside
    49        the front door.  At a time that I cannot recall now the
    50        other two, male and female, wanted to go and dance or 
    51        listen to the music that was taking place in the back 
    52        room.  I sat on the only chair that was available by the 
    53        table, simply to stop anyone from trashing it or
    54        interfering with it.  I did not hand out any leaflets.
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:   Can I just say, actually, that strictly speaking
    57        what Mr. Rampton put to the witness was not exactly what we
    58        put.  We just said that leaflets were distributed.  That
    59        did not mean handed out.
