     1   Q.   How long were you employed by them or when, for what
     2        period, roughly?
     3        A.   Eighteen months to two years, roughly.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was that from beginning to work or train as
     6        an inquiry agent up to the conclusions of your
     7        investigations into London Greenpeace?
     8        A.   I was -- from memory, I was with Tyson for some time
     9        and then we took on this job.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   And then?
    12        A.   And then we took on the McDonald's job and how long
    13        after that I cannot recall.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not concerned with who you were employed
    16        by after your participation in the investigation into
    17        London Greenpeace, but was all your work as an inquiry
    18        agent as an employee of Tysons up until the beginning of
    19        this investigation and through until the end of it?
    20        A.   Whilst with Tysons I was employed as a freelance court
    21        advocate and solicitor's clerk as well as investigation
    22        work.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  And that continued until you finished your
    25        investigation with London Greenpeace, did it?
    26        A.   I was involved with investigation work after London
    27        Greenpeace whilst with Tysons.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not concerned with that at the moment.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  You said you were involved in the service of the
    32        writs, or doing the pre -----
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   No, we have gone on to something else now.
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  It is just one final question.  Did you continue to
    37        attend London Greenpeace events in September?
    38        A.   No.
    39
    40   Q.   1990?
    41        A.   No.  I do not believe I was.  Without referring to my
    42        notes, I distinctly remember stopping my involvement, i.e.
    43        with the group, and then after that assisting with.  So, I
    44        would not have attended, from memory, at venues or meetings
    45        whilst I was assisting with the service of writs.
    46
    47   Q.   Right.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Would you leave Court?  Do not talk to
    50        anyone else about your evidence and please return by 10.30 
    51        on Friday, Mr. Claire? 
    52        A.   Yes, my Lord. 
    53
    54   Q.   You almost certainly will not go back into the witness box
    55        then, but I hope it will be not too late in the morning
    56        when you resume your evidence.
    57        A.   Thank you, my Lord.
    58
    59                        (The witness withdrew)
