His Lordship did not know of any certificate which he could rožcive.
Mr. Dennys-I want to show he is a British unbjects
His Lordship-I grant you that. Mr. Dennys.This shows he was a British subject in 1884. He never had any intention of going back to his Chinese citizenship.

"From the threshold of nine decades I can look back upon this decay of a grand old are. With the Victorian Era departed much that was sweet and pure and admirable in the social life of our land. Where now are the giants? Where are the Palmerstons, Disraelis, Glad- stones in politics? Where the Dickensos and the Thackerays in literature? The men of to- extrinsically small men. But be not deceived. Our nation is but passing through a phase of its existence. The ultimate destiny of the face is dividuals, assured. It may be with peoples as with in-

favour of domicile. That is as far as you can go, Mr. Dennys-Of course fatement can be contradicted by his acts.
His Lordship-The question of domicile usually arises after a man's death.
Mr. Dennys then read a long affidavit by debtor and pointed out that there was no psi- donco as to the nationality of Wai Kwong,
debtor's father.
His Lordship-I am afraid he is a Chinaman, He was born before Hongkong came into the possession of Britain.
The affidavit then went on to explain that debtor would have been able to meet his debts had not his estate been swallowed to meet the
liabilities of a friend for whom he stood security. His Lordship expressed the conviction that a Chinaman returned to the home of his ap
cestora.
Mr. Dennys pointed out that this place was not considered the ancestral home.
His Lordship held that the position of a Chinaman differed very little from that of an Indian in other British colonies. They could not hold that an Indian was domiciled out of India. He had got the desire implanted with. in him to return to the home of his fathers.
Mr. Dennys-The same feeling is implanted
in the breast of an Englishman.
His Lordship--And of a Scotsman too. Mr. Dennys-I take it my domicilo is held to be England, although I have been here 40
years.
His Lordship Because when you have amassed your fortune you propose to return, (Laughter).
Mr. Denays-I have expressed no desire to give up my British domicile. This man claims to be a British subject.
His Lordship-There is such a thing as double nationality.
The Chief Justice then perused the certificate handed in and remarked that it stated that in 1884 he claimed to be a British subject.
Mr. Dennys-You.

Mr. Dennys asked permission to reendl witness from the Henngahan Magistracy on the point.

His Worship-There must be some prima facie evidence. I will allow the last witness to

Mr. Dennys-I submit, your Worship, that that is sufficient prima facie evidence.
Mr. Morrell-My friend has got to prove that the defendant is a subject of China. Extradition in itself tends to be a breach of the British dag, and has to be treated very are fully. It is absolutely absurd to say, on this evidenes, that the defendant is a subject of China. I might live in Germany for seven or eight years, but that would not be evidence that I was a GermAM.
His Worship-In this case I think it is evidence, having regard to castom.
