1. This is a petition brought for a declaration that as from the 1st January 1949 the petitioner is a British subject for the purposes of the British Nationality Act, 1948. It is said to be brought under s.23 of that Act. I must confess I find this somewhat difficult to understand. That section deals only with persons who are born out of wedlock but later legitimated by the subsequent marriage of their parents.
