Abode

Dwelling place. See "Residence." ABOLITION (Lat. abolitio, from abolere, to utterly destroy). The extinguishment, abrogation, or annihilation of a thing. In the civil, French, and German law, abolition is used nearly synonymously with pardon, remission, grace. Dig. 39. 4. 3. 3. There is, however, this difference: Grace is the generic term; pardon, according to those laws, is the clemency which the prince extends to a man who has participated in a crime, without being a principal or accomplice; remission is made in cases of involuntary homicides and self-defense. Abolition is different, — it is used when the crime cannot be remitted. The prince then may, by letters of abolition, remit the punishment, but the infamy remains, unless letters of abolition have been obtained before sentence. Enc. D'Alembert. ABONDANCE (Law Ft.)

The place where a person dweils,

The place where a person dwells. Prescribed as the criterion of the residence required to constitute a legal voter, nothing more than a domicil, a house, which the party is at liberty to leave, as interest or whim may dictate, but without any present intention to change it.* The place where a college is situated may or may not be a student's permanent abode. To such as are free from parental control, and regard the place as their home, having no other place to which to return in case of sickness or affliction, it is, pro hac vice, their home, their permanent abode.* A college student may be both a voter and a student; and if he in good faith elects to make the place his home, to the exclusion of all other places, he may acquire a legal residence, although he may intend to remove from such place at some fixed time, or at some indefinite period in the future.'
