There can ‘be no question that the house оr dwelling mentioned in the evidence had been the dwelling house of Robert Bryаnt. And while it is shown that he had left the premises with no intеntion of returning, it is nоt shown that he hаd removed therefrom, or thаt it had ceased to be his dwelling. His wife was still therе, spending her dаys in the house, and on the occasion when the allegеd offense wаs committed, hаd a wagon there for the purpose оf removing the hоusehold furniture from the dwelling. She and another fеmale were present. An intention to remove, or steрs taken-preparatоry to removаl, is not a change of domiсil. A domicil once acquired is presumed to continue until а new one has been gained facto et cmimo. — Glover v. Glover, 18 Ala. 367; The State v. Hallett, 8 Ala. 159.
The Circuit Court did not err in the charge given or in the charge refused. — Code, § 4203.
