Evidence: | 'At 9.50 I went into the general office in order to await any cases of infectious diseases or nuisances which may arise during the day (inspector on duty) and chatted with the clerk on duty. He had a Coronation souvenir paper and read aloud
the heading "Smiles that charm all subjects" and added in a disappointed tone "they have failed to charm me".' |
