The Court observes that similar grounds had been cited by the City Court earlier - on 27 December 1996 and 8 August 1997 - to justify the applicant's continued detention. It further notes that the principal reason for the decision to place the applicant in detention on remand on 29 June 1995 was that he had obstructed the investigation of the case by refusing to turn over certain bank documents necessary for the investigation, he had brought pressure to bear on witnesses and had allegedly tampered with the evidence.

In such instances, I personally feel driven by more than an aversion to being duped. I bristle at the thought of being pushed into an unacceptable cor- ner by those who would use one of my hedges against the decisional overload of modern life against me. And I get a genuine sense of righteousness by lashing out when they try. If you are like me-and many others like me-so should you. Looking Up
Rather than plunge into them, I shall reveal some obstacles in advance. Then I shall only outline the way(s) in which Grice tries to surmount them. It would be natural to start by supposing that a given English sentence means that P only in the sense that when speakers of English utter that sen- tence, they always or at least normally (speaker-)mean that P. But here come the problems. Obstacle 1 Ziff (1967) offered the following two examples: George has had his head tampered with: electrodes have been inserted, plates mounted, and so forth. The effect was curious: when asked how he felt, George replied by uttering . . . "Glyting elly beleg". What he meant by [that], he later informed us, was that he felt fine. He said that, at the time, he had somehow believed that ["Glyting elly beleg"] was synonymous with "I feel fine" and that everyone knew this.
