     3
     4   MS. STEEL:   The leaflets that you collected in the couple of
     5        following days after the picket on 16th October 1989, can
     6        you tell us exactly what you did with them?
     7        A.  I exactly handed them to Barlow Lyde & Gilbert.
     8
     9   Q.   You did not do anything with them prior to that?
    10        A.  No.
    11
    12   Q.   You did not write on them?
    13        A.  I do not think so.  No, I do not think I did.
    14
    15   Q.   Had any of the people who had picked them up written on
    16        them?
    17        A.  I could not tell you; I did not examine them that
    18        closely.
    19
    20   Q.   So you did not ask the people who handed them to you about
    21        the circumstances of how they got them?
    22        A.  No.
    23
    24   Q.   Did you keep copies for your own files?
    25        A.  No.
    26
    27   Q.   When did you next see the leaflets?
    28        A.  Sorry, when you say "copies", do you mean the
    29        originals?
    30
    31   Q.   Either.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  This is something which troubled me
    34        yesterday, because "copy", the word "copy", obviously is
    35        equivocal, is it not?
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not mind the use of "copies" of the
    40        leaflet meaning different leaflets.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Perhaps we could use the word "photocopy" for
    45        something which is just that; it sounds a bit pedantic but
    46        otherwise there may be some confusion.
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:  I understand.  (To the witness):  Did you keep
    49        either original copies or photocopies?
    50        A.  I kept some photocopies. 
    51 
    52   Q.   You kept some photocopies? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   What happened to them?
    56        A.  I think they were placed in one of my cupboards until
    57        such time as all the material that I had was passed over to
    58        our solicitors, which would have been two years ago.
    59
    60   Q.   Around the time that you were making the statement?
