1. ““A domicile once acquired is presumed to continue until it is shown to have been changed. Where a change of domicile is alleged, the him Ion of proving it rests upon the person making the allegation. To constitute the new domicile two things are indispensable: First, residence in the new locality; and, second, the intention to remain there. The change cannot be made except facto el animo. Both are alike necessary. Hither without the other is insufficient. yiere absence from a fixed home, however long continued, cannot work the change. There must be the animus io change the prior domicile for another. Until the new one is acquired, the old one remains.””

2. ““A party may be a resident of a place, and yet not domiciled there; for, while he is resident there, still if he does not intend to make that Ms permanent place of abode, but has always the ‘animo revertendi,’ there can be no doubt that the mere fact of his residing for the time being in a place does not establish a domicile at the place of residence. A. man always retains his domicile if he leaves it ‘animo revertendi.’ ””
