The said Eli Clinton Clark shall be deemed adjudged, and taken to have obtained all the rights and capacities of a natural born British subject within the Dominion of Canada, and to have, hold, possess and enjoy the same within the limits thereof, upon, from and after the passing of this Act; provided always, that the said Eli Clinton Clark, shall within three months after the passing of this Act take and subscribe before the Judge of the County of York, who is hereby authorized and directed to administer the same the oath of allegiance to Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors and such oath so taken and subscribed shall be transmitted by such Judge to the Secretary of State for Canada, to be kept by him amongst the records of his office.
