Domicile
Domicile, the place where a person has his home.By the term 'domicile,' in its ordinary acceptation, is meant the place where a person lives or has his home. In this sense the place where a person has his actual residence, inhabitancy, or commorancy, is sometimes called his domicile. In a strict and legal sense, that is properly the domicile of a person where he has his true fixed permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning (animus revertendi).Two things, then, must concur to constitute domicile: first, residence; and secondly, the intention of making it the home of the party.

The Act, as amended by the (English) Extradition Acts, 1873, 1895, and 1906, provides for the arrangements and procedure regarding extradition, see R. v. Daye, (1908) 2 KB 333, and imposes various restrictions thereon, e.g., in regard to political offences. The (English) Extradition Act, 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5, c. 39), adds offences in connection...
