Opinion
June, 1920.
A master of vessels sailing under foreign flags is to some extent acting under the laws of and subject to officials of a foreign country. Hence, the five years' residence necessary for naturalization cannot be computed from sea service on foreign vessels even if the applicant's wife and children reside in this country. Order affirmed, without costs. Jenks, P.J., Rich, Putnam, Blackmar and Kelly, JJ., concur.
