Discovery.
SAN FBANoGsCo, Sept. 22.-An import
ant fact bearing on the question Of
Hong Kong Cinnamon who, claiming to
be British subjects, claim also as such
the right to land IN the United States,
has been brought out. A case of this
nature comes up here for final decision
before Justice Field of the Supreme
Court next Monday. Meantime it 90
CURED TO Judge Field to have that por-
ton of the statutes OF Great Britain
governing naturalization of aliens ex-
amined to see what rights under the ast
we're conferred by the imperial Govern
ment on individuals of an alien race.
The Post this evening, in long article,
publishes the result Of the researches
made at the office of the British cOnsuls
on the case. In the act referred to,
specially enacted for guidance of colo
NAL legislation, 1t provides: "When
oaAy A1ooootC AO1 buOu a putpOoo 10 VLO-
posed, the Governor should ascertain
whether his instructions do rot require
the insertion Of a suspending clause,
and be should take care that words are
inserted, in the terms Of the statute.
confirming the privileges SO granted to
the limits Of the colony" Guided
largely by this, Judge Field will decide
that Cinnamon who are naturalized
British subjects are only such within
the limits OF the colony wherein their
naturalization took place, and that Chi
namen born in Hong Kong must estab-
lish that fact under passport issued
by authority of the British Governor
before any rights claimed by such can
be properly considered in the courts of
the United States.
