1. ““Fourtecnthly. The mere Intention to acquire a new domicile, without the fact of an actual removal, avails nothing; neither does the fact of removal without the intention. * * * Seventeen; hly. If a man has acquired a new domicile, different from that of his birth, and he removes from it with an intention, to resume his native domicile, the latter is reacquired, even while he is on his way, in itinere, for it reverts from the moment the other is given up. The foregoing rules mostly relate to changes of domicile from one place to another within the same country, or territorial sovereignty, although many of them are applicable to residence in different countries or sovereign-ties. * * Thirdly. A national character, acquired in a foreign coxmtry by residence, changes when the party has left the country animo non revertendi. and is on his return to the country where he had his antecedent domicile. And especially, if he be in itinere to his native country with that intent, his native domicile revives while he is yet in transitu; for the native domicile easily reveris. The moment a foreign domicile is abandoned, the native domicile Ls reacquired.” Sections 47, 48.”
