§ DISSENTIENT:
§ "Because Clause 1 proposes to enact that which the Law of Nations does not permit—namely, to confer jurisdiction on British Courts of Law over the subjects of Foreign States without the consent of their Rulers, these States being States in alliance with Her Majesty, and bound by certain Treaties, which, however, do not deprive them of the administration of justice, and of other attributes of Sovereignty.
§ "Because the proposed infraction of the Law of Nations is unnecessary, since the Rao of Cutch, the Ruler of the subjects principally concerned, has signified his readiness to confer the jurisdiction, which it is sought to assume by this Bill, and since the consent of the other Rulers might be, and ought to be, obtained, before such jurisdiction can be conferred upon British Courts of Law.
