§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that the Domicile Act of 1861 has not been applied to China, any means exist for protecting the interests of relatives of British subjects dying in China and preventing trouble with the estates of such persons.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe existing means for protecting the estates of British subjects dying in China, and for protecting the interests of the relatives, are as complete as in a British Possession, as, owing to the fact that His Majesty exercises extra-territorial jurisdiction in that country, the estates are administered in the British Courts.
