there were two or three other boste in the vicinity. When the rope had been out, snetker rope was made fast between the two boats, and we tried to row out into the bay. We could not do so, however, bounase another boat was in the way.
The people on this boat and those on Ya Sae's boat, who had been sleeping, woke up. and attacked us with bamboos, Ya Be revegnised the first defendant, and called out to that effect. The first defendant then fired six shote from his revolver at Ya Sze. Ons of the shots struck Ya Sze's son, but I did not see whether Ya Sza was hit. The fight over, we rowed away, and I was landed at another point on Capsimua. Five of us had rowed away after the light, the second defendant, after outting the repe, having swam Ashore. When he went into the water to cut the rope he left his revolver in the lost. After I was landa, the remaining four rowed away, and I did not sou the first defendant till four days afterwards. He said then-Don't speak about the robbery." Ya Sze is a distant relation of my own.

There is a similar provision MANDOLINES. with regard to a person born outside the King's domisious to a father who is a British subject. The object of this section being to prevent complications arising from double nationality, the committee, while not suggesting any altera tion in the law, think that its provisious should be simplified and redrafted. "Nationality may also be lost when a British subject, whether naturalised or natural-born, becomes volun tarily naturalised" in a foreign country. That is an expression which the committee consifer pot entirely free from obscurity, and ln regard to it they say:--
We think that the law should be made moro definite and that British nationality should not be lost unless the person who is naturalized in the foreign country has expressly applied for naturalisation or done some act from which acceptance of fas foreign nationality may reasonably be inferred.
Turning to the effect of naturalisation upon the status of dependent persons, the committee onll attention to the general principle adopted in the Act of 1870 that the nationality of a ried woman should be that of her husband. They do not propose any substantial alteration
