Not content to work am the rest of ur, you now place yourself before thin bar as convicted felon, and it only remains for this court to pat you out of the way, that society may be relieved of yous and be free from your depredations fora time.

Arun. 23.—Charge of Stealing Money.— Wm. i < a ik now add as to the supplicant. that the defendant's con- duct, which in one view secmued to justify an apprehen- | sion that he might molest the plaintiff herself during the | pendeney of the cuit, bus been xo satisfactorily explained, | that there is nothing left but the fears of the plaintiff to warrant this part of the process. So far, then, as the in- junction restrains the defendant from disposing of his property, and froin molesting his wife, it must be vacated. ‘The remaining question is one of much more diflleulty, and one in eR it has not been easy for me to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, ‘This depends on the question of residence—a question which, under the poor laws, the election law, and various others, is often attended with difficulty, and accompanied with some very nice distine- tions, and some coutticting decisions in our books, Upon this subject the evidence is, on one side, that the defend- ant was born in Philadelphia, and resided there tilt his | muwrtiage, when he changed his residence to New York, at up to the time of his seperation from hi he had a house in Philadelphia which he had provided fr his mother and sister. but whieh, after his marraige, he did not occupy bimself ; that after the separation, he was at that house, and said to his sister that that was now his only home, and that he avowed to Judge Conrad that he had resumed his residence in Philadelphia, On the other cide, the evidence is that he is as much present person- ally in New York ax ever; that he kept his establishment at Font Hill, which ie had intended as his permanent residence. and bought some furniture for it; that he voted in Westchester county ; that in his petition to the Legislatuze of Pennsylvania, which wa» sworn to by him, he described himself as a resident of New York, wt the time he mad these avowals to his sister and Judge Con- rad, and that he made a mortgage in which he described hanvelf us a resident of New York. So that.on the one Land, is merely his declaration, about June, 1349, that he had resumed his residence in Philadelphia, unaccompa- | nid by any act, (not even sleeping there one night.) | carrying out his intention; and, on the other hand. is his oath before the Pennsylvania Legislature, his voting in New York, and his description of himself in a deed, all showing that he was «till a resident of New York. The deseription in the deed would, so far as that matter is concerned, estop him from denying his residence in New York, and it may be supposed that hix oath in Pennsyl- vania was sufliciently solemn to settle the matter, But he added to it an act equally grave, that, | namely, of voting in this State, which he had no right to do unless a resident here, To have given that vote, he mut have been a resident of this State for a year preceding the Gth of November, 1849, a resident of Westchester county for the then last four months, a resident of that election district for thirty days vext preeeding, and at the time an actual resident of the town, ‘The declaration which he thus made of his residence in November. 1849. ix wholly consistent with the statement which he made to the Pennsylvania Legis- lature in February, 100, that he bad been'a resident in New York till December, 1849. but is at war with the claim which is set up on this motion—that from June, 1849, he was a resident of Philadelphia. Ido not well see how he could more distinctly and explicitly have in- dicated that in and after June, 1249, and until at least December of that year. he was a resident of this State. It would be a waste of time and toil for me to fill this opinion with a detailed examination of the eases to which T have referred on this question of resid i enough for me to be fully aware that they of law to be in conformity with good sense, in pronoune- ing that, at least up to December, 1849, the defendant was a resident in New York, and that he is mistaken in sup- posing that by avowing in June. 1849, his intention to re- sume his residence in Pennsylvania. he was able to or did actualiy change his residence to that State. If, then, he did not change his residence in June, 1849, he changed it in December, 1849, or not at all, as appears from the pa- pers before me, If he did not change it at all, but is still aj resident here, it is not competent for him to give the | risdiction to grant hi courts of Pennsylvania Yoree, not even with the consent of his wife, im without it. If he did so change it such change in entire good faith, and without any rete voree, stil his suit in Pennsylvan’ rained by the injunction in this ease. can ed, becuuse he had not been a resident there one y before he commenced bis suit, and without such resi- dence no divorce can be granted. But if he did so change his residence, and that for the purpose of iving the courts of that State jurisdiction of his case, nothing is better settled in our courts, than that such temporary residence, for the purpose of conferring jurisdiction, ix in fraviden legis, and Will be disregarded. “(2 Kent, 114.)
