Domicil

Change of domicil is said to arise where there is a change of abode and the absence of any present intention to not reside permanently or indefinitely in the new abode. If a person has actually removed to another place, with an intention of remaining there for an indefinite time, and as a place of fixed present domicil, it is to be deemed his place of domicil, notwithstanding he may entertain a floating intention to return at some future period. The requisite animus is the present intention of permanent or indefinite residence in a given place or country, or, negatively expressed, the absence of any present intention of not residing there permanently or indefinitely.

domicile. 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. Domicil of origin: the place of birth.

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.
