Mr Chairman, the form was filled in without the assistance of a legal representative.  That is the first thing I would like to point out.  The second thing is that the headmen that were appointed under the Gozo regime were appointed by the community, by the community electing them as suitable persons and then their appointment as such was ratified by Brigadier Gozo at the time.
	Now it didn't matter that the applicant was not a member of the ADM, which was the party of the ruling leader at the time.  What did happen - and without trying to give evidence here, I'm sure this will become apparent from the evidence that I intend to lead, is that members who were headmen were regarded as being supporters or members of the ADM, whether they were or whether they weren't.  It's against that background that the applicant is actually applying for amnesty.
