II. EXCLUSION OR EXPULSION.

21 (U.S.C.C.A.) Immigration Act, §§ 20, 21, as to deportations by Secretary of Labor, held to authorize deportation of Chinese laborers in the country in violation of the Immigration Act. -Yee Ling v. United States, 318.

23(2) (U.S.C.C.A.) That one who lawfully entered as the minor son of a Chinese merchant has since become a laborer is not enough of itself to destroy his right to remain, the general Immigration Act not forbidding the residence of Chinese laborers.-Lew Loy v. United States, 181.

25 (U.S.C.C.A.) A Chinese person having less than a year of minority remaining may enter as the minor son of a Chinees merchant domiciled in the United States.-Lew Loy v. United States, 181.

26 (U.S.C.C.A.) The son of a Chinese merchant, born in the United States, in which place his father was engaged in business, is, though he becomes a laborer, entitled to remain.-Woo Vey v. United States, 426.

32(4) (U.S.C.C.A.) Denial of communication between Chinese woman and citizen, whose wife she claimed to be, pending determination of the matter by the immigration authorities, held not an injustice.-Mah Shee v. White, 456.

As rules of Bureau of Immigration contemplate submission of evidence on appeal in addition to that brought out at hearing, refusal to permit applicant's counsel to communicate with her held to deprive her of a fair hearing.-Id.

32(8) (U.S.C.C.A.) While certificate of admission issued to Chinese person, entering as merchant and minor son of a merchant, is prima facie evidence of his right to remain, government may show that he entered fraudulently for purpose of immediately becoming a laborer. -Lew Loy v. United States, 181.

That a Chinese person, securing admission as a merchant and as the minor son of a merchant, immediately becomes and continues as a laborer, is strong evidence tending to show that he entered to become a laborer.-Id.

In proceeding for deportation of Chinese per son, who entered as a merchant and the minor son of a merchant, evidence held to warrant finding that his entry was fraudulent, and that he entered to become a laborer.-Id.

32(8) (U.S.C.C.A.) In a proceeding for the deportation of a Chinese person, who claimed he was born in the United States, evidence held insufficient to sustain his contention.-Woo Vey v. United States, 426.

32(8) (U.S.C.C.A.) In a proceeding to deport a person of Chinese descent, evidence held suffcient to support his claim that he was a nativeborn citizen of the United States.-Yee Chung v. United States, 656.

In a proceeding to deport a Chinese person, the court could not arbitrarily reject or discredit the testimony of witnesses favorable to the defendant, on the ground that they were Chinese persons and unworthy of credit.-Id.

32(10) (U.S.C.C.A.) A person of the Morgolian race must be deported to Canada or discharged, where all that is known regarding him is that he was last seen in Canada.-Mark Seong v. United States, 272.

32(10) (U.S.C.C.A.) Persons birth, not shown to have come to this country from China, held deportable to Canada, under Immigration Act, §§ 20, 21.-Yee Ling v. United States, 318.

32(12) (U.S.C.C.A.) The conclusion of the District Court in a Chinese exclusion case held entitled to great weight on appeal, particularly where much of the testimony was taken in the presence of the judge.-Lew Loy v. United States, 181.

In proceeding for deportation of Chinese person, who entered as minor son of Chinese merchant, held, that statement of government's attorney that entry was valid, but that defendant had forfeited his right to remain, was not prejudicial, though judgment of deportation could be upheld only on theory of fraudulent entry.-Id.

Order for deportation of Chinese person cannot be sustained on ground that not only was not tried at hearing, but was disclaimed by government attorney.-Id.

32(5) (U.S.C.C.A.) Under Chinese Exclusion Act, $ 3, a Chinese person, whose right to remain is challenged, has the burden of estab-32(12) (U.S.C.C.A.) The finding of the trial lishing such right to the satisfaction of the court.-Lew Loy v. United States, 181.

32(5) (U.S.C.C.A.) Under Acts May 5, 1892, § 3. and April 29, 1902, a person of Chinese descent does not, by asserting in deportation proceedings that he was a citizen of the United States, because born therein, cast upon the United States the burden of contradicting his contention.-Woo Vey v. United States, 426.

judge in proceeding for deportation of Chinese person, which was in accordance with the conclusion of the commissioner, is entitled to great weight on appeal.-Woo Vey v. United States.

32(13) (U.S.C.C.A.) Right of Commissioner of Immigration and Secretary of Labor to decide appeal on application by Chinese woman for admission to the country held not affected by fact

that immigration inspector believed she was, tion held not to be stayed.-Chadeloid Chemical
married to her alleged husband.-Mah Shee v. Co. v. H. B. Chalmers Co., 15.
White, 456.

IV. NATURALIZATION.

68 (U.S.C.C.A.) A decision denying an ap-
plication for naturalization cannot be reviewed
by the Circuit Court of Appeals on writ of error
or on appeal, there being no provisions for such
review.-Appeal of Cook, 520.

another petition asserting their claims on other grounds, is not final order, and second petition cannot be denied on ground that proper remedy should have been by appeal from denial of first. -Hume v. Myers, 415.

A court of bankruptcy is always open, and until distribution bankruptcy court may open and reconsider on merits its orders concerning petitions for payment of claims out of funds of bankrupt estate.-Id.

136(2) (U.S.C.C.A.)
