requirements of the law, the judgment of the Court
admitting the applicant as a citizen of the United

quent enquiry can be made into the sufTiciency Of
the evidence upon which it was pronounced
s. If the allen making the application has borne
any hereditary title or belonged to any order of
nobility in the kingdom or country from whence he
came, he shall make express remuneration Of such
title or order of nobility.

Court, that during the preceding three years has
been his intention to become citizen of the United
States
g. Any alien being free white person, and who

United States, between the 14h of April 1902 and
the 18th of June 1912, may be admitted citizen

7. The fees of clerks of courts for services, per-
tanning to the naturalization Of aliens not fixed
by law. 'Conllin's Treatise on the practice of
Courts, has the following language. " None of the
acts upon this subject Naturalization now III force
provide any compensation to clerks of courts for
the services above speci6ed and from the language
of some of the provisions since repealed, allowing
a small compensation TO be paid by the applicant,
it seems to be interabe that these officers were not
considered as having any ght to exact fees with
out special authority by law. But for such Off
cia service as the clerk is not expressly required
to perform-such as furnishing the alien anthem
tcated certificate of prev ous declarations lnten
ton to be used in another court, or like certlh-
cate of his naturalization, clerk might doubtless
with propriety exact such fees with the usual addl
ton, as would be allowed for similar services by
the laws of the State or, in the absence of any To-
cal law applicable to the case, such compensation
as the court should consider reasonable
g. The proofs oaths, and declarations may be
made in court upon oral examination according to
the ordinary form of proceeding in courts of law
But it is recommended to aliens to come before the
Court with the proper proofs, &c. drawn up in due
form before hand.
