WHAT constitutes a legal residence for
a specified term2 The question is OF in.
terest in many controversies; hence it
may be well to bear in mind an official
opinion just rendered by Attorney Gen.
eral Schoonmaker, OF New York, who, in
behalf of the trustees OF an asylum for the
insane, was asked to construs the follow.
ing provision OF law passed by the Legis-
lature of 1870:
Hereafter no person who has not re.
sided within this State for at least one
year next prior to application for his or
her admission into any State asylum for the
idiotic, blind, insane or deaf and dumb,
shall be admitted as an inmate therein.
The gist Of the Attorney Generals opin.
ion is that he knows Of no statute in
which the word "reside" or Residence
has been construed to require actual and
continuous personal presence. Residence
in the legal sense signifies the home OF
domicile Of person, the place where his
rights as citizen are exercised, and
where he is eligible to Office. 1t Is used
in this sense in tax laws, and in the cleo
ton laws, and where person has fixed
residence Of this kind, his actual and con.
tinuous personal presence is in no way
important to preserve his right to
vote or to remain liable to taxation. He
may exercise the right Of suffrage by
returning to his legal residence on elec.
ton day, and is liable to assessment and
taxation whether actually present at his
legal residence or not during the time the
assessment rolls are required to be made.
He may be absent upon business, or for
health or pleasure, as frequently and as
long as may be agreeable to him, without
losing his residence or impairing any oil
his rights or privileges as citizen. In
the contemplation Of law he continues to
reside at the place where his home is 10.
