     1        not find the complete version when I looked for it.  I
     2        then asked to have a fresh copy sent and it was
     3        incomplete.  In the incomplete part that I looked at
     4        I could find nothing of relevance.  I have not had the time
     5        to look at a complete version again because it was in court
     6        over the weekend.  If I find, as I said before, that there
     7        is something of relevance, I will certainly reveal it.  In
     8        accordance with your Lordship's indication on a previous
     9        occasion, I might well be advised to uncover the whole
    10        document.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  My view is at the moment (and I will hear
    13        what everyone has to say in due course) that I really
    14        cannot attach any significance, certain significance, to
    15        the underlining, since, presumably, somewhere, whether
    16        anyone has been able to find it or not, there must have
    17        been some explanation at some time of what the underlining
    18        meant.  We have not had that; I may from other evidence
    19        from outside the document -- I really cannot remember what
    20        the evidence was now -- be able to reach some kind of
    21        conclusion if it really is important as to how many
    22        one-page inserts there were before one went to two only.
    23        But at the moment I am not inclined to make it from an
    24        underlining about which there has been speculation but no
    25        clarity whatsoever.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  I thought Mr. Green might remember, so I asked him
    28        if he could remember what the significance was and he says:
    29        "Well, I am not sure".
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are just making a deduction, it seems to
    32        me, Mr. Green, which any outsider on the same information
    33        might or might not feel able to make?
    34        A.  Yes, I do not remember for sure.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  In fact, I think, my Lord, it was the other way
    37        around.  It was two pages and then one.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Two then one.
    40
    41   MR. RAMPTON:  If it were so, of course, it would be significant
    42        because what it would show was that the two-page
    43        advertisements to which the Attorneys General had objected,
    44        the detail -----
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I appreciate that, but it was always
    47        planned and the second pages were not taken out under
    48        pressure.  I understand that.
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  Not only that; if this were right, the last of the 
    51        two-page advertisements would have terminated at the time 
    52        when the complaint was first received which was not until 
    53        April.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I am merely declaring that at the
    56        moment I do not feel able to attach any significance one
    57        way or the other to the underlinings.
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I see.  (To the witness):  One final document
    60        to look at, Mr. Green.  It is in the yellow file V,
