The exception should have been sustained. The evidence shows that he was appointed resident physician at Quarantine Station, in the parish of Plaquemines, about eight months before the institution of the suit; that he has resided there ever since; that when he moved to Plaquemines parish he did so with the intention to make it his domicile, and that is still his intention. There is no evidence to contradict this. The sheriff's return states that the citation and injunction were served on defendant in person in the parish of Plaquemines, at his domicile in that parish.
