Transitory action

Actions are said to be either local or transitory. An action is "local," when the principal facts on which it is founded pertain to a particular place. An action is termed "transitory," when the principal fact on which it is founded is of a transitory kind, and might be supposed to have happened anywhere ; and therefore all actions rounded on debts, contracts and such like matters relating to the person or personui property, come under this latter denomination.
