looks at the exhibit your Lordship has seen the exhibit.
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: No.
MR. TANSEY: Your Lordship has seen it.
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: I would not mind looking at it again; it is page 368, is it not?
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL: 368.
MR. TANSEY: Your Lordship sees 368.
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: Yes, I have got it. I have looked at it before; I will look at it again.
MR. TANSEY: My Lord, there are better ones to look at than 368.
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: I will look at any one you like.

point, the vertical line with a cross, where clear Tradecraft inferences can be drawn from that. This is
of a totally different nature. It fits in with the sort of thing that anybody on holiday might do
themselves, or somebody else might do on their behalf.
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: Could you remind me of one matter? Was this document found before
your client was interviewed about Oporto.
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL: This document was found, my Lord, at the defendant’s home
together ----
MR. JUSTICE BLOFELD: I know it was; I realise that.
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL: ---- with the other documents and before he was interviewed. The
documents were found on various days, so it may be that it probably is the case that the interview
