Sir:-

PEKING.

September 25th, 1914.

220

His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies has

recently approved the provisions of a draft Bill drawn up

by the Governor of Hongkong amending the Deportation

Ordinances of 1912-1913.

The amended Ordinances will give the Government of Hong-

kong power to deport as undesirable, amongst other persons,

Eritish subjects who are born in Hongkong of Chinese parents

not British subjects, and who do not possess certificates

of British birth, i.e. the so-called Hongkong iritish-born

certificates.

In connection with the issue of this amended Ordinance,

Sir, F.H. May has raised the question of the registration of

such persons by His Majesty's Consular Authorities in China.

as British subjects and he states that cases have arisen

when registration is effected merely on the production

by the applicant of a Hongkong birth certificate. The

Governor

goes on to say that these certificates are often

fraudulent and that even if genuine, such documents would

not necessarily procure the issue of a British-born certifi-

cate in the Colony.
