The Venus, 8 Cranch, at 278; accord, Story on Conflict of Laws §44, at 42 (“residence” and the “intention of making it the home of the party”). A person’s residence was the place where he lived. R. Phillimore, The Law of Domicil 16–18 (1847) (Law of Domicil). He had the intent to permanently remain in that place if he planned to stay there indefinitely. Ibid.
