Sir,
I am directed by the Secretary of State to enclose herewith
a copy of a letter and enclosure, which has been addressed to the
Under Secretary of State regarding the desire of a Chinese named
Ahlow Lowing to apply for a certificate of naturalization.
It will be seen that Lowing claims to have been born in
Kowloon Tong Village, in the year 1885. The Secretary of State
understands that a portion of the Kowloon peninsula was ceded to
Britain in 1860, and it seems possible, therefore, that the man
may be a natural-born British subject. Provided ir. Secretary
MacDonald sees no objection, he would be glad if enquiry could be
made with a view to ascertaining the exact location of Kowloon
Tong Village, in order that the question of Lowing's national
status may be further considered.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
9.1. Well.
The Under Secretary of State,
COLONIAL
OFFICE.
