     1        leaflets on those pickets?
     2        A.  I have no knowledge of that.
     3
     4   Q.   Are you saying that you have never received a report to
     5        that effect, or just you do not remember?
     6        A.  I am saying I do not remember.
     7
     8   Q.   Right.  There were some photographs disclosed recently --
     9        I do not know whether it is worth putting this to the
    10        witness, seeing as he said he does not know any of the
    11        private investigators, that he has not met any of them
    12        apart from Mr. Clare.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What you could do, if you like, you could ask
    15        him now and he can look overnight through those and then
    16        the first thing when you come back to Mr. Nicholson you can
    17        ask him -- he is looking through them now -- whether he
    18        recognises anyone there as a private investigator
    19        instructed by Barlows or himself.
    20
    21        Where shall I put these?
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I suggest that they go into pink
    24        publication 2.  There is a tab which there is a video for
    25        that date, which is tab 7.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will make them 7A, shall I?
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, there is nothing in that tab.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  These are your photographs.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  These are ours.  We did disclose them as soon as
    34        we found them.  They were in a different shaped album and
    35        we have now had copies made of them.  I think I showed them
    36        to Mr. Carroll when he was giving evidence.  Yes, the video
    37        has been disclosed for ages, but we have found the
    38        photographs as well.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  When I rise I will put them in 7A.
    41
    42   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, by all means let Ms. Steel take the
    43        course of showing the photographs to Mr. Nicholson to see
    44        whether he can help.  Whether or not he can, I would ask
    45        through your Lordship that we are told now, not as part of
    46        Mr. Nicholson's evidence, but we are told now who it is in
    47        these photographs it is alleged by the Defendants to have
    48        been an agent of the Plaintiffs and what his or her name is
    49        alleged to be.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest you do is follow up the 
    52        question you have just put that private investigators 
    53        attended pickets of Head Office and handed out leaflets on
    54        those pickets, to which Mr. Nicholson said that he had no
    55        knowledge, by which he meant he cannot remember.  If you
    56        suggest that, ask him the question as to whether he
    57        recognises any investigator in any of these photographs.
    58        Then if it is your case that any particular person is a
    59        private investigator, point that person out to
    60        Mr. Nicholson and ask him to think again.
