Bonar to George Villiers, December 21, 1868

My Lord: With reference to my dispatch to Lord Stanley, of the 8th instant, informing his lordship, in reply to the queries addressed to me in his dispatch No. 70, circular of the 11th of August, that according to the law of the western (Cisleithan) portion of the empire all children horn of foreign parents in Austria are regarded as aliens, illegitimate children of aliens being regarded to follow the nationality of the mother, I have now the honor to inclose to your lordship a translation of a note I have this day received from the imperial chancery of State, stating that the laws of Hungary on that point are identical with those of Cisleitha.

I have, &c.,

A. G. G. BONAR.

The Right Hon. Earl of Clarendon, K. G., &c., &c., &c.
