Alien.

662. An alien is, at common law, a subject of a foreign state who has not been born within the allegiance (x) of the Crown (a). The status of a person, as to whether he is an alien or not, is determined by the law of this country {h), is the mutual bond and obligation between the king and his whereby subjects are called his liege subjects because they are bound Therefore it is truly said protectio trahit suhjecobey and serve him.

protedionem'' (Calvin's Case (1608), 7 Co. Eep. at p. 5 a). (a) Calvin's Case (1608), 7 Co. Eep.^ 1 1 Bl. Com. Ch. 10 R. v. Burke and This definition does not, however, appear to others (1868), 11 Cox, C. C. 138. be exhaustive, as in some cases, notably in that of Germany, if a subject is absent for ten years from his country, he loses his nationality. It would seem that such a person resident in England would, if he had not become naturalized here, have no nationality at all for he would not be regarded as British merely because, by the law of Germany, he had ceased to be a German. (b) Be Adam (1837), 1 Moo. P. C. C. 460, where it was held that the status of a man resident in the Mauritius, whether alien or not, is determined by the law of this country, but the rights and liabilities incidental to such status must be determined by the law of the colony.
