BRITISH ORDER IN COUNCIL, providing for the Registration of British Subjects in Her Majesty's Consulates in Siam.-Windsor, November 26, 1900. At the Court at Windsor, the 26th day of November, 1900. PRESENT: THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Lord President. Lord Chamberlain. Earl of Kintore. WHEREAS by Treaty, capitulation, grant, usage, sufferance, and other lawful means, Her Majesty has jurisdiction within the territories of the King of Siam: Now, therefore, 1. In this Order the expression "British subject" includes a person who, by virtue of section 15 of "The Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890,"* or otherwise, enjoys Her Majesty's protection in Siam. 2. A register of British subjects shall be kept in the office of every Consulate in Siam. 3. Every British subject, resident or arriving in Siam, being of the age of 21 years or upwards, or being married, or a widower, or widow, though under that age, may, subject to the provisions of this Order, be registered in a Consular Register. 4. The registration of a man shall comprise the registration of his wife, or wives, if living with him; and the registration of the head of a family shall comprise the registration of all females and minors, being his relatives, in whatever degree, living under the same roof with him at the time of his registration. 5. A British subject resident in Siam shall not be registered elsewhere than in the Register of the Consular district in which he resides; but a person arriving in Siam may be registered either in the Register of the Consular district in which he first arrives or in that of the district in which he goes to reside. 6. A person arriving in Siam and not already registered must apply for registration within one month after arrival; a person resident in Siam must apply for registration in January in every year: Provided that a person who fails to obtain registration within the time so limited may be registered at any time, if he excuses his failure to the satisfaction of the Consular officer. 7. A person registered in any Register of British subjects established under "The Siam Order in Council, 1889," shall be registered under the provisions of this Order, unless the Consular officer is satisfied, after inquiry, that the previous registration was erroneous, or that such person is not entitled to registration under the provisions of this Order. 8. The Consular officer shall on every registration give to the person registered a certificate of registration signed by him, and sealed with his Consular seal. 9. The name of a wife, if her registration is, under the provisions of this Order, comprised in her husband's, shall be indorsed on the husband's certificate. 10. The names and descriptions of females and minors, whose registration is under the provisions of this Order comprised in that of the head of a family, shall be indorsed on the certificate of the head of the family. 11. Every person applying to be registered under this Order shall, unless excused by the Consular officer, attend personally for that purpose at the Consulate on each occasion of registration. 12. Every person shall, on every registration of himself, pay a fee of 2s. 6d., or such other fee as the Secretary of State from time to time appoints. The amount of the fee may be uniform for all persons, or may vary according to the position and circumstances of different classes if the Secretary of State from time to time so directs, but may not in any case exceed 5s. 13. If any British subject fails to obtain registration under the provisions of this Order, he shall not be entitled to be recognized or protected as a British subject in Siam; but he shall, although not registered, be subject to the jurisdiction of Her Majesty's Consular Courts in Siam. Provisions affecting particular Classes of British Subjects. 14. A person, not of Asiatic descent, arriving in Siam and applying to be registered as a British subject, shall be so registered if the Consular officer is satisfied, after such inquiry as he may deem fit, that he is entitled to the status of a British subject. 15. A person of Asiatic descent arriving in Siam and applying to be registered as a British subject, shall be so registered if he (a) produces a passport as a British subject from British India or a British possession; or (b) files an affidavit or sworn declaration showing that he was born within Her Majesty's dominions or within the territory of any Prince or State in India under the suzerainty or in alliance with Her Majesty, or that he has been |
