A

$

birth is to be treated, merely on account of his

birth, as a British subject.

But the new section 4(1) provides

that the Governor may issue an order against

any person whom he finds to be a British subject

if, in the opinion of the Governor in Council,

he, (d), was born in the Colony of parents neither

of whom was a British subject at the date of the

birth of such person unless he has obtained a

certificate of his British birth under the hand

of the Governor and the public seal of the

Colony.

I do not think that the fact that

a person was born in the Colony of parents neither

of whom was a British subject at the date of the

birth of such person, as referred to in section

4(1)(d), is intended to be a ground for deporting

a British subject.

It would seem as if section 4(1)(a)

should really form part of section 3, as including

in the term "alien" a person who was born in the

Colony of parents neither of whom was a British

subject at the date of the birth of such person,

unless he has obtained a certificate of his

British birth under the hand of the Governor

and the public seal of the Colony.

There is a typographical error in

section 10: the word "Magistrate should be

"Magistrates".
