The latter?  I think, and this may reduce Mr Richard a little, there does not appear to be any evidence to prove or to even indicate on any strong ground, that the deceased, was an informer in any ordinary sense of the word.  It may well be that he like many other young men, who were detained by the Security Police, pretended to agree to something to ensure that he was not subject to further ill-treatment or to secure his release.
	That may have happened, but certainly there is nothing before us I think, and I think we all accept that, to show that he was what could be called a police informer.
