I notarised a certain Bill of Sale.

You notarised a Bill of Sale for Reynolds, not Rakubian.

You had notarised a paper one morning, before I came to work.

All you did was notarise a paper, you've notarised hundreds of papers

You mentioned at the time that this fellow Reynolds had made some kind of a deal in Palm Springs, and he stopped in your office early in the morning on his way north to have it notarised.
