Alien
Alien [fr. alienigena, alibi natus, Lat.], a person not born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance (q.v.). See definitions in the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Acts, 1914 and 1933, infra. At common law aliens were subject to very many disqualifications, the nature of which is shown by the (English) Act of 1844, 7 & 8 Vict. c. 66, which greatly relaxed the law in their favour. It provided, inter alia, that every person born of a British mother should be capable of holding real or personal estate; that alien friends might hold every species of personal property except chattels real; that subjects of a friendly power might hold lands, etc., for the purposes of residence or business for a term not exceeding twenty-one years; and it also provided for aliens becoming naturalized.Alien, (UK) is a person who is neither a Common-wealth citizen nor a British protected person nor a citizen of the Republic of Ireland.

Electoral franchise
Electoral franchise. (1) The qualifications entitling persons to vote at Parliamentary elections. A brief sketch of the changes up to 1884 in (a) Counties, and (b) Boroughs is as follows:(a) Originally the freeholders elected the members for the county: later, residence was made an additional qualification. In the fifteenth century the qualification was limited to resident freeholders of lands or tenements to the value of 40s. by the year (8 Hen. 6, c. 7). Towards the end of the eighteenth century the residence qualification was abolished. The (English) Reform Act, 1832, extended the franchise to 10l. copyholders and to leaseholders for terms of years, and tenants at will paying a minimum of 50l. yearly rent (2 & 3 Wm. 4, c. 45, ss. 19 and 20). The (English) Representation of the People Act, 1867, extended the franchise to every duly registered man of full age who was-(i) the owner of lands or tenements, of whatever tenure, for his own life, for the life of another or for any lives wha...
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. There must be the fact and intent; for, as Pothier has truly observed, a person cannot establish a domicile in a place except it be animo et facto.From these considerations and rules the general conclusion may be deduced, that domicile is of three sorts: domicile by birth, domicile by choice, and domicile by operation of law. The first is the ...
