2 What I would invite you to do is spend a few minutes of the
3 hour you are now going to have just seeing whether you need
4 to go through absolutely every one of them. So far as the
5 point whether it came from Greenpeace or not, I would
6 suggest you have put enough of that to Mr. Nicholson
7 because he has, in effect, said he does not know. He has
8 no evidence to add as to whether there was a network of
9 communication under these manifestation of these
10 allegations and, so far as the question of whether it was
11 lifted from London Greenpeace, I can judge that for myself
12 if I look at them.
13
14 MS. STEEL: I am trying to go faster and speed up.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That may be but see in what way you can edit
17 it because you have made it clear what your points are and
18 one does not have to inspect every hole in the ground to
19 see whether it is any different from the last one.
20
21 MS. STEEL: OK.
22 (Luncheon adjournment)
23
24 MS. STEEL: Thank you for the time to serve the appeal.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
27
28 MS. STEEL: Mr. Nicholson, to try and save a bit of time, do you
29 still have the "words complained of" bundle?
30 A. Yes.
31
32 Q. From tab 25, The Morning Star, 16th October 1989?
33 A. Yes.
34
35 Q. Tab 26, BBC Sheffield, 16th October 1989; tab 27, News
36 Shopper Bromley and Hayes, 18th October 1989; tab 28,
37 Sunderland and Washington Times, 19th October 1989; tab 29,
38 Somerset County Gazette, 20th October 1989; and tab 30,
39 Richmond and Twickenham Times, 20th October 1989, and the
40 date of action for those ones was between November 1989 and
41 February 1990.
42
43 Can you just flick through those and see whether you
44 remember any of those?
45 A. Not The Morning Star, not BBC Sheffield, well The News
46 Shopper is obviously just a letter from -- no, nothing;
47 Sunderland and Washington Times no, sorry. Did you say 29,
48 as well?
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Up to and including 30?
51 A. Up to and including 30. No. I mean, some of these are
52 so short, no. 30, no. I would not be able to help you with
53 that after all this time.
