Yourself?
including the Chinese writing on it?
No, my clerk did that it was all typewritten.

All that you did was to hand in to the general agent a completed form
of application?
Completed.
Q., You have good reason to believe the permit was not written until that
afternoon, after your morning's visit to me?

I am sure of that.
You do not think it is possible that that permit may have been completed
but mislaid or unidentified?
No, decidedly not.
When you took that application form from the general agent and handed it
Immigration
to Mr. Chen in the iEx office, did you remember whether anything was
marked on it?
Yes, "urgent". The same momo which Mr. Chen wrote to the general agent
was attached to the application.
Any other attachments?
No.
Q. No chops?

No, but Mr. Chen again wrote 'urgent'.
You are sure there was no chop at the foot of the application?
I cannot remember. That application was handed in as received from
the general agent.
The point of my question as to the necessity of giving hard and fast
rules for my staff to work by was in relation to your statement that
although you informed my clerk that you were Consul still it was
necessary for you to produce evidence of urgency?
I did not object to showing proof for the urgency of the case in order
to get results.
You say he insisted upon proof for the urgency and you had to produce
a letter?
A.
Yes.
