144 THE SENATE. 9, QUALIFICATIONS OF SENATORS. By section 23 of the B. N. A. Act, 1867, the qualifications required of a Senator are as follows :— Age. 1. He must be 30 years of age. Subject. 2. He must be either (¢) a natural born subject of the Queen, or (b) a naturalised subject. Naturalisation is one of the subjects specifically reserved to the Dominion Parliament, and therefore an alien can only be naturalised by force of a Dominion or of an Imperial Act of Parliament. The status of aliens naturalised before the Union by a Provincial Legislature is recognised, and such subjects may be Senators. 3. His real and personal property must be of the value of 4000 dollars over and above his debts and liabilities. (@) Of this property a certain minimum amount must consist of freeholds of which he is seised for his own benefit. The lands referred to in the Act' are “lands or tenements held in free and common socage...or held in franc-alleu or in roture.” Property. (b) The minimum amount of freehold property is 4000 dollars, and such amount is calculated “over and above all rents, dues, debts, charges, mortgages, and incumbrances due or payable out of, or charged in or affecting the same.” (¢c) It is not necessary that the freeholds should be in the particular Electoral District of the Province for which the Senator sits, except in the case of Quebec Senators who are non-resident in the Provinee of Quebec’ 4.
