Rt Hon John Major MP,
10 Downing Street,
London SW1.
30 May, 1995
Dear Prime Minister,
re: BA Gough Equipment Ltd. v AW Chapman Ltd.
We are writing to you again, this time to record the fact that
government ministers and public funds are being used to conceal and
maintain the £1.3 billion fraud against this Company.
We first wrote on 7th December, 1994 complaining that masonic
corruption was operating against this Company in the above action. A
conspiracy to pervert the course of justice which involves Tory Party
Treasurer, Lord Hambro, Lloyds Bank plc and the former Slater Walker
Securities Ltd, now named Invesco MIM plc.
Your Secretary replied on 16th December stating "Mr. Major has asked
that your letter be passed to the Department responsible for the
subject so that they too are aware of your comments".
The "Department responsible" claim they did not receive our papers
from your office until February this year and are unable to pursue
our complaint because one of the culprits is Sir Nicholas Lyell, MP,
the Attorney General.
In 1972 the Court of Appeal ordered that the above Defendant, a
Slater Walker company, must pay the contractual royalties due to this
Company at that time, with interest £16.3 million. Both Chapman
and Lloyds Bank gave undertakings to the Court in respect of payment
and executed deeds which are intended to preserve this Company's
right of payment of the royalties.
The fraud against this Company by Slater Walker was such an
embarassment to members of the returning Conservative government and
their bankers, in 1979, that the late Sir Keith Joseph had this
Company dissolved within months of the election. However, the High
Court restored this Company to the Register in June, 1991, but the
judgement debt remained unpaid by Chapman.
In consequence, on 20th March, 1994, the Companies Court directed me
to apply for the directors of Chapman and Lloyds Bank to be committed
to prison because of their breach of undertakings, and to bring an
action against Chapman for payment of the £16.3 million.
It is therefore a matter of public concern that, on 29th March, 1995,
in an empty courtroom at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, the
Attorney General obtained an order preventing me from pursuing or
commencing any civil proceedings in my name or the name of the
Company. An act of misfeasance by the government's senior law officer
which prevents this Company enforcing a court judgement and
undertakings.
Freemason "Bro Lyell" has wrongly used his political office to prevent
committal proceedings against past and present directors of Slater
Walker and Lloyds Bank, which include Mr. Jim Slater, Lord Walker,
Lord Hambro, Mr. Jonathan Aitken MP, Sir James Goldsmith, Lord
Rippon, Lord Stevens, Sir David Nicolson, Sir George Blunden, Mr.
Peter Hill-Wood, Lord Richardson, Lord Hanson, Sir Richard Greenbury,
Sir Robin Ibbs, Sir Jeremy Morse, Sir Simon Hornby, Sir Brian Pitman,
Lord Plumb, Sir Ian Prosser, Sir Michael Quinlan, and the like. No
shortage of Masons or political influence in this group.
Those directors remain in contempt of the Highest Court, unlawfully
protected by your administration until the £16.3 million is paid
to this Company. A lynch-pin in this conspiracy to defeat the course
of justice is Lord Hambro, the phantom Mr. X in the Slater Walker
enigma, Chairman of Hambros Bank Ltd, Slater Walker's advisors and
mortgagees of that Company's entire assets in the Seventies.
Slater Walker's most valuable asset was Chapman's contract with this
Company to manufacture and market one of my inventions named
Asemaster. World sales of this invention now exceed £50 billion
but none of the £1.3 billion royalties have been paid to this
Company due to fraud. Hambros Bank, Co. no. 964058, was formed on 1st
July, 1970 as a vital element in that fraud.
Lawyers acting for us in this matter have been either bribed, ruined,
or intimidated through the masonic metwork, causing them to abandon
us and for me to represent the Company in the courts. Contending
against such lawyers as the £650 per hour Anthony Grabiner, QC,
the highest paid barrister in Britain, retained by Lloyds Bank and
Slater Walker to obtain an order from his fellow Jew, Judge Zucker,
in May, 1993.
Following our complaint of collusion and fraud, the Lord Chief
Justice wrote to us, advising how we might have Judge Zucker removed
from office and the lawyers dealt with for conspiracy.
We are reliably informed that one in three judges are under a
barbaric oath to assist their brother masons whoever and whatever
they are. Certainly I have been confronted in the Courts by a cartel
of judges and lawyers prepared to perpetuate the injustice against us
and conceal masonic wrongdoings.
There can be no possible doubt, however, that since 1992 no less than
6 judges have been instructed to make adverse decisions against us
and those adverse and erroneous decisions were used by the Attorney
General in his application. Note how the faceless cult perverts the
very essence of law and common decency to achieve its evil ends in
this affair.
We wrote to you last December complaining that our application in the
above action, listed for 9th December, had been put back to 10th
February, 1995, without our consent or knowledge. Subsequent events
show that this date changing was the result of an unlawful
arrangement between the Attorney General and Slater Walker's
solicitors, DJ Freeman & Co.
Following my protests, the application was heard on 24th January by
Mr. Justice Latham at Birmingham Crown Court (civil). The judge was
hindered by our writ and statement of claim being removed from the
Court file before the hearing.
The Court transcript shows that documents executed by directors of
Lloyds Bank and Slater Walker, in 1972, had been FORGED to defraud
this Company of the valuable Asemaster patents and the £1.3 billion
royalties from its sales. Also that Slater Walker had interchanged
the name of AW Chapman Ltd with that of 10 other companies and traded
that Company under a false number to evade the payment of a Court of
Appeal judgement debt.
Mr. Justice Latham was about to make a summary judgement order
against Chapman when he was summoned from the Courtroom and, we
understand, instructed to dismiss our application, which he did on
his return. The judge's name was removed from the order before it was
sealed and the Attorney General later claimed the order of 24th
January had been made by Mr. Justice Mance.
The Latham J erroneous and irregular decision meant that I had to
Motion the Court of Appeal for that Court to enforce its order and
the undertakings.
At 7 pm the following day, the Attorney General served a Notice of
Motion on me in respect of his application together with some 2,000
copy documents supplied by solicitors Cameron Markby Hewitt for
Lloyds Bank and DJ Freeman & Co for Slater Walker (Chapman).
This application was calculated to keep me out of the Court of Appeal
where I could enforce the order and undertakings, in short a device
to pervert the course of justice by a freemason government minister.
In February we learned of the closure of Hambros Bank last December
after you received our letter. A Bank of England analyst advised me
to write to Lord Hambro, which I did, regarding the safety of the
Bank's documents pending our claims against a future liquidator.
Lord Hambro paid a visit to the Far East and Barings Bank collapsed,
followed by Credit Lionnaise, France's biggest bank, also involved in
the fraud against us since the late Sixties.
The Civil Appeals Office received my Notice of Motion in the Latham J
decision and the Attorney General applied for his application to be
expedited, which it was by Crown Master Mackenzie, on 2nd March in my
absence, the same day Hambros Bank re-opened.
The following day Hambros plc director, Edward Adeane, wrote to me
concerning my letter to Lord Hambro, warning me not to repeat my
comments about Hambros Bank to a third party. Mr. Adeane describes
himself as a Barrister and Extra Equerry to Prince Charles since
1985.
The Birmingham Post renewed its 28 year interest in my inventions and
on 16th March published an article: "Inventor heads for Appeal Court
to end £1.2 billion royalty battle". At lunchtime the same day I
received a Court Notice stating that HM Attorney General application
would be heard on Monday, March 20th, 1995 at 10:30 in London.
Contrary to Court rules, the Skeleton Argument arrived on Saturday,
18th March, and our telephone was cut off until about 4 pm on 19th
March, according to friends and a British Telecom apology letter I
received later. There was insufficient time to prepare a defence
affidavit in 48 hours against an application HM Government had spent
3 months setting up, so I opted for an adjournment, on the basis of
the Attorney General's false material statements under oath and his
non-compliance with the Court Rules.
At 10:30 am on 20th March Hambros Bank announced its sale of British
Rail's rolling stock, the government's sell-off estimated to raise
£1.3 billion, and the Attorney General's application came before
Lord Justice Leggatt and Mr. Justice Buxton in Court 3.
Such applications are not normally heard by an Appeal judge, but
Nicholas Lyell's grandmother was named Leggatt, albeit in the
diminutive form, and it might well be that the Listing Clerk thought
it best to keep such sensitive issues in the family. The same day Mr.
Justice Latham had to sit in the Court of Appeal because of a
shortage of appeal judges.
Leggatt J dismissed my adjournment application, unheard, preferring
to hear the application against me, in the absence of a defence,
contrary to my civil rights which the Crown had been motioned to
remove anyway.
Counsel for the Crown, Robert Jay, delivered the application in less
than 30 minutes, referring to less than 1% of the 2,000 copy
documents exhibited; so the only purpose of this mountain of
documents was to bury the facts.
The judge then invited me to speak, an unrecorded defence, so I
confined my time to reading extracts from documents Mr. Jay had
omitted, such as a letter from DJ Freeman & Co to Slater Walker,
dated 13th May, 1971, which reads:
"As Mr. Gough is not prepared to settle the action, there is no
alternative but to keep it going, albeit with the least possible
haste. Although this could result in a copying fee of £100, it
is probably worthwhile if it can deter him from being active in other
directions pending attempts that are being made to get the Asemaster
deal through."
This 24-year-old letter says it all, a conspiracy by Slater Walker
and others to defraud this Company of the Asemaster patents and the
£1.3 billion royalties, a conspiracy which was effected 13 months
later with the FORGED documents.
The action referred to was brought against me by Slater Walker in
1970, in the name of Chapman, 3 months after Hambros Bank was formed,
to silence me whilst this Company was stripped of its assets now seen
to have been worth some £10 billion to Slater Walker and Hambros
Bank. That, Prime Minister, makes this the biggest fraud in legal
history.
In the 1970 legal action, the late Mr. Justice Milmo refused to grant
an injunction against me on Friday 13th November, 1970. I counter-
claimed and entered judgement against Chapman for £4 million
which remains unpaid.
The Freeman letter was typical of the voluminous evidence of conspiracy
and fraud laid before their Lordships on 20th March this year.
An appeal has been set down, so I am unable to relate further, but
suffice it to say that since the 1970 action did not silence me, the
Conspirators have used the courts against me relentlessly for a
quarter of a century, until I came within 20 minutes of recovering
£16.3 million, and then the masonic element instructing the
judiciary against us revealed itself.
In his 53 minute judgement summary Lord Justice Leggatt said: "In
1965 Mr. Gough invented a warehouse system named Asemaster and in
1966 he obtained patents for the invention in 18 countries. In 1967
Mr. Gough's Company entered into contract with a company named
Constructors Ltd, in which Constructors are to make and sell the
invention and pay Mr. Gough's Company a royalty of two and a half
percent.
Sales of the invention now add up to £50 billion and, at two and
a half percent, royalties of £1.3 billion should have been paid
to Mr. Gough's Company, but no royalties have been paid." At the
conclusion of his speech, the learned judge said: "Mr. Gough's letter
to the Prime Minister refers to the Attorney General's association in
this affair, but whatever it is, we must recognise the official
position. I have no hesitation in making the Order against Mr.
Gough."
The following day I received a letter from the Civil Appeals Office
stating that Master Miller had directed I could proceed in the Court
of Appeal in the Latham J decision and requesting that I send the
£50 fee, which I did.
Then the Civil Appeals Office wrote back stating that in view of the
Attorney General's Order against me, I must obtain leave of the Court
to motion the Court. That is obtain leave of the Court to motion the
Court of Appeal for leave to represent this Company in the Court of
Appeal to enforce an Order of the Court of Appeal which I had
obtained in the Court of Appeal, in person, in 1972.
The original conspirators in this monstrous fraud were David
Nicolson, Viscount Runciman, Jim Slater, Peter Walker MP, Charles
Hambro and the Hon Jacob Rothschild. You are the 6th Prime Minister I
have complained to since Lloyds Bank attempted to bribe me with
£#163;1 million in 1969.
Viscount Runciman was a deputy Chairman of Lloyds Bank, Chairman of
Walter Runciman & Co and a dircetor of PE Consulting Group.
Nicholas Lyell was an employee of Walter Runciman & Co and the
Viscount's sister was Lyell's step-mother. As a practising barrister,
Sir Nicholas Lyell was involved in the fraud, and when appointed
Attorney General in 1992, he had a personal and financial interest in
concealing the fraud against us. The Attorney General is a member of
41 Lloyds syndicates and several masonic lodges in common with
directors of Lloyds Bank and their solicitors, and when Jim Slater's
former solicitor, George Staple, was appointed director of the
Serious Fraud Office, again in 1992, investigation into the fraud was
halted.
Volumes have been written about Hambros Bank and the subject now
controlling the Conservative Party's fortunes, Lord Hambro, was a
member of the Jewish-masonic P2 group which ripped off the Vatican
for £1 billion, and hung Roberto Calvi under Blackfriar's Bridge
in 1982. In December of that year I was offered an open cheque by
Hambros Bank.
It is an indictment against government and the judiciary that 780
years after the Magna Carta, a person's civil rights can be removed,
without trial by jury or commission of any offence, to protect
thieves in high places and conceal Judaic-Masonic corruption in the
High Court and Government. Your office carries the ultimate
responsibility to maintain the rule of law; that is what you are
elected and paid to do.
Yours sincerely,
BA Gough Equipment Ltd.
Bernard A Gough
24 July, 1995 Dear Mr. Gough, The Prime MInister has asked me to thank you for your recent letter. I am very sorry you have received no further response to your original enquiry. Your letter was referred to the Lord Chancellors Office and I have passed this further letter to them and asked them to ensure a reply is sent to you as soon as possible. Meanwhile please accept my apologies for the unfortunate delay. Yours sincerely, Mr. G Buckley Mr B A Gough B A Gough Equipment Ltd Worcestershire
A Midland inventor is heading for the Appeal Court as the latest step in a £1.2 billion royalties claim dating back 23 years and involving the controversial Slater Walker empire. Mr Bernard Gough wants a 1972 Appeal Court order enforced, so he can collect the first £5.3 million batch of royalties for the Asemaster warehouse storage system he invented. It is alleged these royalties should have been paid to his company, BA Gough Equipment, for the period 1967-1972. With interest, the sum claimed is now £16 million. Worldwide sales of the Asemaster system, made in several countries under different names, have since piled up to a massive £50 billion, Mr Gough estimates. Mr Gough, now aged 65, of Droitwich, is hoping enforcement of the 1972 order will confirm royalties are due to him. He has also just written to the Prime Minister appealing for help. The dispute arose after Mr Gough signed an agreement with Birmingham firm Constructors in 1967 licensing them to manufacture his invention in return for 2.5 per cent sales royalties. Slater Walker Securities took over Constructors soon afterwards and acquired the worldwide rights to build and sell Asemaster. Slater walker was set up by City supremo Mr Jim Slater and Mr Peter Walker MP, now Lord Walker, and is now known as Invesco MIM. Mr Gough cannot get legal aid and cannot afford the £15,000 cost of hiring a barrister. He is seeking permission to represent himself in the Court of Appeal, which he has done before. The Appeal Court action comes after his case was dismissed by the High Court in January on grounds that in legal terms he had run out of time - something Mr Gough disputes. It is against AW Chapman, part of the Rodd Group of Middlesex. Constructors was ultimately changed to AW Chapman after a series of name swaps. Rodd Group managing director Mr John Harvey said the firm acquired AW Chapman from Slater Walker in 1970. He strongly denies that Mr Gough has any claim. Mr Harvey said Slater Walker had agreed to fund any legal costs arising from actions brought against AW Chapman by Mr Gough. Mr Gough was unable to pursue his claim from 1980-1992 because his company, put into receivership by Lloyds Bank in 1968 over an unpaid overdraft, was struck off in 1980. It was reinstated in 1992, allowing Mr Gough to continue pursuing the royalties claim. A Midland solicitor who has been informally advising Mr Gough said: "He has a good case, but he is being caught in a Catch 22 situation. "He can't afford to employ the large legal firm he needs to take on the case without the money owing to him."
Notes:Lloyds Bank and AW Chapman's Counsel have obtained costs orders against Gough Equipment and myself... knowing their client's costs were being paid by INVERSCO Plc the renamed Slater Walker Securities. The Attorney General, Sir Nicholas Lyell MP, I understand is an investment client of INVERSCO Plc. The Attorney General has a financial interest in the outcome of these proceedings. Bernard Gough
INVENTOR Bernard Gough has made legal history in pursuit of a £1 billion claim for alleged fraud. In a unique move, Gough, 63, has forced the Department of Trade and Industry to resign as liquidator of his company, B.A. Gough Equipment. His claim is against Lloyds Bank and companies formerly connected with City financier Jim Slater. Gough says he is owed royalties from an automated warehousing system he invented in 1965. His invention was licensed to Birmingham engineers who were bought by Slater Walker Securities. he alleges that Gough Equipment was forced into liquidation soon afterwards and for three years was prevented from recovering any royalties. Last week in the High court, the DTI said it had seen no evidence of such a fraud. It also said Gough's company still owed £22,762 to creditors and that 33 creditors had not submitted their claims. But Gough's solicitor, Brian Chase-Grey, argued that these debts were too old to be recoverable even if they could be proved.
INVENTOR Bernard Gough, 63, is using legal aid to pursue a £1 billion fraud claim which dates back more than twenty years. Mr Gough claims to have fresh evidence which will allow him to re- open a case which was thrown out of court in 1973. He alleges that he is owed royalties which should have been paid to his engineering firm, Gough Equipment, after he invented an automated warehouse system called Asemaster in 1965. Slater Walker's financial empire acquired the worldwide rights to build and sell Asemaster two years later. But it paid only £11,500 of the 5 per cent sales royalties which were agreed, before collapsing in 1975. Gough Equipment was struck off the company register in early 1980, after Lloyds Bank appointed a receiver over failure to repay a £13,000 overdraft. But five months ago, Mr Gough won a High Court order to restore the company and pursue the royalties claim which would have covered its debts. Mr Gough said under oath that he had 'penetrated the mechanisms used by Slater Walker Securities to conceal the sales of Asemaster and to disguise and dilute the profits'. He claimed that worldwide sales of Asemaster exceeded £25 billion and that his company was entitled to 5 per cent of that under the royalty agreements. Gough's solicitor Brian Chase-Grey said last week he expected to issue writs against Jim Slater and Lloyds Bank within the next month.

Dear Prime Minister,
BRITAIN'S BIGGEST FRAUD
May I draw your attention to the enclosed copy of my letter to you of
30th May 1995 and events since that date.
APPEAL COURT CORRUPTION: On 9th May 1996 it was proven in the Court
of Appeal that Attorney General Nicholas Lyell MP had unlawfully obtained a
Section 42 'gagging' order against me to prevent this Company enforcing a £16.3
million judgement against Lloyds Bank and former Slater Walker Company
A W Chapman Ltd, also to conceal FORGERY on the part of the Bank and
Chapman's solicitors. Nevertheless, my appeal was dismissed by the panel of
Masonic/Jew judges because they had been instructed to do so by secret briefings
from Civil Appeals Office lawyer Mr Ian Jospeh, who is now Clerk to Lord Woolfe
The enclosed copy of "Secret Briefings in the Court of Appeal" by law
researcher Suzon Forscey-Moore BA is primary evidence that such corruption
of the legal process at the highest level is common in cases which are sensitive
to the Masonic-Jew Mafia who have subverted the rule of law in Britain to
accommodate their activities.
PSYCHOLOGICAL MURDER: Following distribution of my book
'The Biggest Fraud' recently my wife died from causes practically unknown to
medical science. Certainly, 28 years of injustice in English Courts to defraud us
of £2.4 billion royalties together with the gagging order and your reluctance to
deal with the continuing crimes against us were factors in the sudden premature
death of my wife and Secretary of this Company.
Following circulation of the second edition of my book and the 'Secret Briefings'
document, on 17th March the Lord Chancellor resigned and you dissolved
parliament early to prevent these and related matters being raised in the House
of Commons. On Election day Lloyds Bank's solictors will change their title to
CAMERON McKENNA and since your wife is Jewish, as a follower of Jesus Christ,
I would have you know that I am not anti-Semitic but that my heart goes out to
Messianic Jews everywhere.
Yours Faithfully,
B. A. Gough Equipment Limited.
