Domicil

Domicile, [Lat. domidlium, from domus, house or home, and colere to keep.] The place where a person has his home. A residence at a particular place, accompanied with positive or presumptive proof of an intention to remain there for an unlimited time.* 1 Binney^sB, 849, note. This is the definition adopted by Dr. Phillimore, in preference to any of those given by the foreign publicists. Phillimore on Bomicil, chap. ii. Domicil, he observes, answers very much to the common meaning of our word hofne, and where a person possessed two residences, the phrase he made the latter his home would point out that to be his domicil.

Id,

The place where a person lives

or has his home; the place where he has his true, fixed, and permanent home, and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning.

Many definitions have been given of this word, but the above appear to be the best.

That which arises from a man's birth and connexions. 6 Vesey Jr, 760. The domicil of the parents at the time of birth, or what is termed the domicil of origin, constitutes the domicil of an infant, and continues until abandoned, or until the acquisition of a new domicil in a different place.
