Hostility

A state of open enmity; open war. Wolff. Dr. Nat. § 1191, Permanent hostility exists when the individual is a citizen or subject of the government at war. Temporary hostility exists when the individual happens to be domiciliated or resident in the country of one of the belligerents. In this latter case, the individual may throw off the national character he has thus acquired by residence, when he puts himself in motion, bona fide, to quit the country sine animo revertendi.
