THE BRITISH SUBJECT.
The English Law Covering Birth and
Naturalization.


1t is natural that we, in these tight
little islands, says the London Tele-
graph, should jealousy guard the So
eial advantages, the protection and
field for Advancement which are en-
joyed by those who can claim to be
British subjects But in the eyes Of
the law there is considerable confu-
sion as to the necessary qualifications
which outsiders must show before
they can be admitted to all the priyi-
leges of citizenship. On this ac-
count the home secretary appointed
an inter-departmental committee to
report upon the doubts and diff
cultics which have arisen in connec-
tiou with the Interpretation and ad-
mmistration Of the acts relating TO
naturalization, and to advise whether
legislation for the amending of those
acts is desirable, and, if so, what
scope and direction such legislation
strould take" Who is British sub
ject? The committee point ont that:
"To the common law belongs the
fundamental principle that any per-
son who is born within his majesty's
domnions is from the moment of his
birth British subject, whatever may
be the nationality Of either or both
of his parents, and however tempo
rary and casual the circumstances de-
terminiug the locality Of his birth
may have been"
The child of an alien enemy born
in a part Of his majcsty's dominions
which is at the time in hostile occupa-
tion is not British subject Again,
the child born within the British do
minionS of an ambassador or other
diplomatic agent accredited to the
crown by foreign sovereign is not
a British subject The limits Of this
latter exception have not been exact
ly aseertaned.
The kings son is always a British
subject, wherever he may be born.
With this exception the acquisition
of the status Of British subject by
parents rests on statute law. A per-
son whose father or paternal grand
father was born within his maiestys
dominions is deemed a natural-born
British subject, although he himself
was born abroad.
To the category Of persons who are
British subjects by reason Of their
birth having taken place within his
maiesty's dominions must be added
those who are born on board a Brit
ish ship. Some doubt exists as to the
extent of this rule There seems to
be no doubt. the committee remark,
that person is a natural-born Brit
ish subject who is
(a) Born on board a British ship Of
war, wherever such ship may be;
(b) Born on board a British mer-
chant vessel on the high seas.
1t is suggested that a simple rule
should be made that any child on
foreign ship while in British waters
should not be deemed to be subject
Of this country, owing to this acci-
dent of birth; but, on the other hand,
an infant who first looks out on life
under the white and red ensign, wher-
ever it may fly afoat, is apparently
ubject Of the king, though he be as
black as ebony or his father be this
country's most deadly enemy.

The helplessness that a man feels

to ride astraddle. Then / decided to

hour, then change and ease the strain
