Kentwell And my mother was Chinese.

WAIT AND SEE.

Witness said that, after receiv ing application for naturalization, a Magistrate would make inquiries and, if he was not satisfied that the applicant, was worthy of Chinese citizenship, the matter would be dropped altogether. Judging by the document received by Kentwell, the Magistrate way satisfied: There then was nothing else to do except wait for the certi- Acate and in these troublous times no one could say when it would arrive. Normally it would take about a month."

Mr. Maitland-I have several questions I should like to ask the witness.

Kentwell said that he did not think the Crown Advoente had anything to do, with the matter," and be added some more uncompli mentary remarks.

DESTRUCTION OF PASSPORT.

The Registrar-Have you hand- ed in your passport and taken your name off the registert

Kentwell-English law does not require that. Passport! Why, I' would burn it! I don't want any- thing more to do, with it, I burnt it, and with, my photu on it, am sorry to say I have not registered myself this year and it will not be very long before this Court in abolished also.

The Crown Advocate-May I draw attention to my application?

The Registrar-For how long do you want an adjournment?

The Crown Advocate-Until to- morrow morning.

Kentwell-I demand my immedi- ate release as a Chinese citizen. This is the gunboat policy again. (Another heated outburst follow- ed, one remark, with a comprehen- sive wave over the closely packed legal benches, being:-"These anobs also secured the rendition of the Mixed Court.")

The Registrar-Oh, Mr. Kent- well, please!

Kentwell-That's right. "Snobs, all of them! Shanghai Club and Country Club! I am ashamed of their behaviour as Englishmen!

The Registrar-Well, I don't pro- pose to act like a judicial gunboat, but I have to obey the law. You have not quite proved, your case up to the present. Subject to what the Crown may say later, I will accept it for the present that you have applied to the Magistrate's yanien and your application has been for- warded to the Minister of the In- Lerior, but you have not yet produc- ed the certifiente. I want that. | In the meantime, I have prima facie vidence that you are still a British subject and your name is on the register.

policy, while making "econdary reservations with regard to certain points in which Anglo- Italian interests do not exactly coincide. It is understood that the Imost important part of the note is the statement that Italy is ready to join England, even to the using of force, should the situation at Shanghai become critical.

Another tirade was interruptedt by the Registrar saying: "Well, 1 am going to grant an adjourn ment. What can you offer in lil?
