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. See TRANSPORTATION. Exile, an abjuration, which is a deportation for ever into a oreign land, was anciently with us a civil death. 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). See ALIEN, and Re Goldfarb, (1936) 52 TLR 254....

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.
