Deceased Wife of American: No Citizenship in His or Her Country 'A matter concerning'international relations of British and American people was adjudicated of the Mixed Court on Wednesday when Messr's, Bucknell and Yui issued an order which concerned the estate of the deceased British wife of Mr. John A. Richards, an America citizen. The point at law has been discussed informally many times in various circles of Shanghai, the usual idea being that either or both Britigh and Americen: Consulates would take charge of an issue which involved a British female subject married to an American citizen.
The issue as far as the Anglo-Saxon Consulates are concerned, since the American Congress male Jaw on the marriage of British afd American woman to American and British men, is quite involved. According to American law a British woman who marries an American does not lose her British citizenship, According to British law a British woman married to an American becomes an American citizen. Therefore, technically speaking, neither British or American authorities are concerned with her status, Some say she has no standing waateoever before either Britich or American Courts. Others say that she has a dual nationality and is subject to either or both governments, Hitherto no precedent has been set.
