The applicant becoming naturalised, ontitlod him to the rights and privileges of a British subject He'had not lost thoso rights merely because a state of war existed between tho country of his'origin and tho country, of his adoption. The Union had advanced nothing against tho applicant's personal conduct, acting solely on the general attitude of onomy subjects, whether naturalised or _ unnaturalized. He granted tho injunction asked for, adding that not only was the injury a continuing one to a labouring" man, working for his daily wage, but injury and suffering were incurred throuch his being deprived of employment for a long period.
