* In the case of a boy born in Hongkong since the first day of January, 1873, an "Extract of Entry in a register kept in the Colony of Hongkong, in terms of Ordinance No. 7 of 1872,” which can be obtained at the Registrar General's Office, will be sufficient. In the case of a boy born in Hongkong, previous to the year 1873, an affidavit, by the mother or other witness of the birth, sworn to before a Magistrate, is necessary. A similar affidavit, sworn to before a British Consul, is required in the case of a boy born in China or Japan or elsewhere, unless a proper legal certificate of age, issued by a competent authority and sufficiently attested, can be produced. In the case of Chinese boys, giving satisfactory reasons for their inability to procure any evidence as afore mentioned, some near relative (or responsible guardian, bringing a letter from parent or uncle) must swear an affidavit before the Registrar General as to the date of birth.
† Here briefly describe the heading of any document annexed.
