NOTE.—The Act of Parliament under which this declaration
is made provides that the declarant "shall not, when within
the limits of a foreign State in which he has been naturalized,
be deemed to be a British subject, unless he has ceased to be a
subject of that State in pursuance of the laws thereof, or in
pursuance of a treaty to that effect."

In exercise of the powers contained in the Naturali-
zation Acts, 1870, I, the Right Honorable the Earl
of Kimberley, one of Her Majesty's Principal
Secretaries of State, make the following Regula-
tion:—

FORM.
The Form of Certificate of Readmission to British Nationality
shall be as follows:—

Whereas A. B. has presented to me, C. D., the Governor of
, a memorial praying for a Certificate of Readmission
to British Nationality, and alleging that he was a natural-born
British subject, and that he became an alien by being natural-
ized as a subject (or citizen) of G. H., [Where the applicant is
a widow, the form must be modified accordingly, and recite the
allegation in the memorial that the applicant became an alien
by marriage with her late husband, L. M., a subject (or citizen)
of G. H.], on the day of 18 ; that he is
and that in the period of eight years preceding his application
he has resided for five years within the United Kingdom [or
within the said colony, or has been for five years in the service
of the Crown as ], and intends, if he receives the Certi-
ficate of Readmission to British Nationality for which he prays,
to reside in the United Kingdom [or in the said Colony, or to
serve under the Crown]: And whereas I have inquired into
the circumstances of the case, and have received such evidence
as I have deemed necessary for proving the truth of the
allegations contained in such memorial: And whereas the said
A. B. has taken the oath of allegiance: Now, in pursuance of
the authority given to me by the said Acts, I grant to the aforesaid
A. B. this certificate, and declare that, as from the date of this
certificate, but not in respect of any previous transaction, he is
hereby readmitted to the status of a British subject; with this
qualification, that, within the limits of the foreign State of
which he became a subject, he shall not be deemed to be a
British subject, unless he has ceased to be a subject [or citizen]
of that State according to the laws thereof, or in pursuance of a
treaty to that effect.

In witness whereof I have hereto subscribed my name this
