                                        TERENCE EDMUND CARROLL - EXAMINED
 
 
 
     1        McDonald's?
     2        A.  Certainly Mr. Nicholson knew about them.  Several
     3        members of my staff did.  In fact, it was quite a common
     4        topic of conversation.  Many members of the company knew
     5        about them.
     6
     7   Q.   Was Mr. Nicholson present on this occasion?
     8        A.  He was, yes.
     9
    10   Q.   Where was he stationed so far as you can remember?
    11        A.  I think he had what they call a "roving commission" to
    12        a certain extent.  He was certainly up in the entrance to
    13        the main building and I saw him walking around a few times,
    14        although I did not actually keep an eye on him all the
    15        time.
    16
    17   Q.   One final question then.  Could you reach for the big fat
    18        file, the Counterclaim Documents, Volume 1, and please turn
    19        to tab 78?
    20        A.  I have not got a 78 in this.
    21
    22   Q.   Is it volume 1?
    23        A.  It is volume 2.
    24
    25   Q.   It is volume 1.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is volume 1, Mr. Carroll, right near the
    28        back.
    29        A.  Yes, I have it, Mr. Rampton.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  Is that your name at the bottom?
    32        A.  That is correct.
    33
    34   Q.   Is that your signature of your first name, your christian
    35        name?
    36        A.  Yes, it is.
    37
    38   Q.   At the top we see the addressee who is Paul Preston with
    39        copies to Mr. Nicholson, Mrs. Brinley-Codd, the solicitor,
    40        and it comes from you.  Its subject is the London
    41        Greenpeace Protest and its date is 18th October 1989, 2
    42        days after the demonstration.  Do you see that?
    43        A.  I do.
    44
    45   Q.   You write:
    46
    47        "On Monday, 16th October 1989 at 4.00 p.m. on the pavement
    48        outside Head Office, London Greenpeace organised a small
    49        demonstration against this company and our products." and
    50        then there are some blanks: 
    51 
    52        "The demonstration dispersed at about 6.30.  There was no 
    53        damage to property and no arrests.  The demonstration was
    54        as follows:  At about 3.30 p.m., 6 people met outside the
    55        East Finchley Underground Station.  Between then and 4
    56        p.m., the group rose to about 15 young people.  Their ring
    57        leader appeared to be Paul Gravett, aged about 20 to 25, 5
    58        foot 4 inches, thin build, cropped hair" and then there is
    59        a blank:
