When several question are certified under Jud.Code, 239, and answers to part will dispose of the case, answer to the rest may be omitted.

Section 9 of the Naturalization Act, c. 3592, 34 Stat. 596, requires that final hearings upon petitions for naturalization shall be held entirely in open court; a hearing in the judge’s chambers adjoining the courtroom does not satisfy this requirement.

Under § 15 of the act, a certificate of citizenship granted by the court or judge on a state of facts showing the petitioner not qualified for citizenship is subject to be annulled in an independent suit by the United States.
