Judgment
...ir,
A case, involving the estate of a longkong
Chinese named Tseng u Cho, has occurred in
hanghai which brings home forcibly the dis-
advantages attaching to dual nationality in the
absence of any agreement with the Chinese
Government on the subject. The facts are as
follows.
2. Mr. Tseng, who was a manager of the Bank of Communications in Hankow and Changhai
and who was duly registered as a British subject
in the Hankow and Shanghai Consulates, died
last year.

large one of between $200,000 and $300,000, wWAR
granted by His Majesty's Supreme Court to the
widow, also a Hongkong Chinese, in November, 1952.
3. In January this your kesara. Teesdale,
lewman and Company, solicitors for the widow,
wrote me a letter, of which a copy is enclosed,
stating that relatives of the husband had brought
an action against the widow in the Chinese Courts
and requesting me to notify the Court in question
that ar, Tseng was a British subject and that
Jurisdiction over his estate had been taken
His Majesty 'a kinister,
