Alien
Alien [fr. alienigena, alibi natus, Lat.], a person not born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance (q.v.). See definitions in the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Acts, 1914 and 1933, infra. At common law aliens were subject to very many disqualifications, the nature of which is shown by the (English) Act of 1844, 7 & 8 Vict. c. 66, which greatly relaxed the law in their favour. It provided, inter alia, that every person born of a British mother should be capable of holding real or personal estate; that alien friends might hold every species of personal property except chattels real; that subjects of a friendly power might hold lands, etc., for the purposes of residence or business for a term not exceeding twenty-one years; and it also provided for aliens becoming naturalized.Alien, (UK) is a person who is neither a Common-wealth citizen nor a British protected person nor a citizen of the Republic of Ireland.

Deportation
Deportation, transportation; exile in to a remote part of the kingdom, with prohibition to change the place of residence. The (English) Penal Servitude Acts, 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. 99), and 1857 (20 & 21 Vict. c. 3), substituted terms of penal servitude for transportation sentences for less than fourteen years, and the latter Act abolished transportation entirely.

Compare the power of making an expulsion order or deportation order under Order of the Secretary of State, under the (English) Aliens Restriction Acts, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 12), and 1919 (9 & 10 Geo. 5, c. 92).

Alien enemy
Alien enemy, a subject of a nation which is at war with this country. A contract with him is void, Brandon v. Nesbitt, (1794) 6 TR 23, unless he have a safe conduct or be living in this country by licence of the Crown; and so is a contract with his wife, De Wahl v. Braune, (1856) 25 LJ Ex 343. Further, not only commercial intercourse but all intercourse with an alien enemy is prohibited by the common law; see The Hoop, (1799) 1 C Rob 196, where Sir William Scott described an alien enemy as 'totally ex lege'; The Cosmopolite, (1801) 4 C Rob 8; The Panariellos, (1915) 138 LT Journ 484. Nor can an alien enemy exercise a right of voting in respect of shares in an English company, Robson v. Premier Oil Co., 1915 (2) Ch 124, nor (unless within the realm by the King's licence) can he sue here during the war, though he remains liable to be sued, Porter v. Freudenbery, 1915 (1) KB 857.
