CIRCULAR.

Downing Street,

28th April, 1915.

Regulations.

Sir,

With reference to my Circular despatch of the 27th November, 1914, I have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying copy of the Regulations which have been made by His Majesty's Secretary of State for Home Affairs in the exercise of the powers conferred upon him by the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914.

2.

I propose, in the first place, to explain the ordinary procedure which should be adopted by the Governor of a Colony not possessing Responsible Government in connexion with the grant of a certificate of naturalization under the Act, and afterwards to deal with the different cases which may arise thereunder. 3. I enclose copies of forms of certificates for use in Colonies not pussessing Responsible Government.

(A) Form of certificate when the alien is qualified by residence or service under the Crown in the Colony; and applications by widows, etc.

(B) Form for the like cases, where children are to be included; (C) Form for minors (in special cases only);

(D) Form for persons with respect to whose nationality as a British subject a doubt exists (in special cases only);

(E) Form for the like cases, where children are to be included;

(F) Form for persons previously naturalized in the Colony;

(G) Form for the like cases, where children are to be included.

4. The Governor should transmit the certificate of naturalization in the appropriate form duly filled in, but (see last words of the proviso to Section 8 (1)

of the Act) unsigned, to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. If the certificate is approved by the Secretary of State, he will sign the certificate in the place provided for that purpose, thereby indicating his approval, and will then return the certificate to the Colony.

5. Upon the return of the certificate, the Governor will sign and date it, and issue it to the applicant : he will take steps to ensure that the applicant shall take the required oath of allegiance within one month of the date of the
