-ît being obviously necessary and desirable that British subjects should have some port at which they may careen and refit their ships, when required and keep stores for that purpose". The right to make laws for the Island was also granted to Great Britain by the same
Ba18 article. As a matter of fact the Island had been ceded under the seal of the High Commissioner Keshen and possession had been taken in the prelious year when a Procleation was issued to the Chinese inhabit- -ants announcing that "all native persons residing therein must under- -stand that they are now subjects of the Queen of theland, to whom and to whose officers they must pay duty and obedience". These facts lead me to the opinion that Chine never relinquished her sovereignty over her former subjects but that Great Britain undertook to regard them as her own subjects if they remained on in the Island. In other words I think that the Chinese in this class have a dual nationality. There cannot be very many of them alive now.
Secondly there are those of Chinese race who were resident in British Kowloon in 1860 and who remained on. On the 20th. March, 1860, the Kowloon Peninsula was leased to Kr. (afterwards Sir) Harry Parkes on behalf of the British Government at an annual rental of 500 taels on the ground that it consisted "for the most part of barren hills that cannot be cultivated, and has hitherto formed a place of resort for thieves and outlaws". On the 24th. October, 1860, by the Convention of Peking the lease was cancelled and "with a view to the maintenance of law and order in and about the harbour of Hong- -kong“ the property was ceded to Great Britain as a dependency of the Colony. This in its turn was followed by a Proclamation declaring that "no officer of the Emperor of China has any right or title to exercise authority or control therein or in connection therewith, that the Government is new and from henceforth will remain veste Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and her offi, duly appointed, and subject to such laws and regulations as Her Majesty with the advice of Her Privy Council may ordain and direct" I am unable to find in any of these documents any relinquishment of Bovereignty over individuals by Chins or any assumption of such sovereignty by Great Britain. I am therefore of opinion that
