Residence Not Enough

His Lordship—Residence is not enough. Fifty years residence may not be enough In this connexion his Lordship quoted the case of a Scotsman, Colone] Patience, who left Scotland of the age of 18, tired from the Indian Army at the age of 50, and lived in hotels and lodging houses in London and various places for 40 years, and was held never to have established domicile in England.

After further discussion, his Lordship intimated} that he would give his ruling on this preliminary point on Thursday morning.
