1. Martin 18.5.31

Section 4(1)(d) gives rise to some

difficulty. It reproduces section 4 (14) (d) of the

Deportation Ordinance, 1917.

Section 4(11) of the Deportation

Ordinance, 1917, provides that, on consideration of

the report mentioned therein, the Governor in Council

may issue a deportation order against the person to

whom such report relates.

But subsection (14) provides that

subsection (11) shall not apply to any British

subject except in the following cases:

(a) any person who, in the opinion of the

Governor in Council, was born in the Colony of

parents neither of whom was a British subject at

the date of the birth of such person, and who

has not obtained a certificate of his British

birth under the hand of the Governor and the

public seal of the Colony.

That is clear enough: it is, in effect,

that no person born in the Colony of parents neither of whom was a British subject at the date of the birth

and who has not obtained a certificate of British

birth
