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.

At Common Law an alien was entitled to be tried by a jury of which one-half consisted of aliens, and the (English) County Juries Act, 1825 (6 Geo. 4, c. 50), s. 47, enacted that, on the prayer of any alien indicted for felony or misdemeanour, the sheriff should return for one-half of the jury a competent number of aliens, if so many there were in the town or place where the trial was had; and if not, then so many aliens as should be found in the same town or place, if any. An alien is now triable in the same manner as if he were a natural born British subject; see the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914, s. 18, in substitution for the (English) Naturalization Act, 1870.
