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.

Probate of his estate, which was a

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,

British Legation,

PEKING.
