Syllabus

<p>1. It is probable that the domicile of a minor, who is under the care of a guardian of the person appointed by the proper domiciliary court, cannot be changed, even by such guardian, without the consent of that court.</p> <p>2. But the guardian may, without such consent, change the minor’s residence. The domicile may be in one state, and the residence for the purposes of guardianship of the person, in another state: Taney’s App., 97 Pa. 74.</p> <p>(a) A guardian of the person, appointed by the proper court at the place of the minor’s residence and domicile in another state, brought his ward into this state, to reside, without obtaining the consent of the domiciliary court:</p> <p>3. The minor’s residence having thus been changed, the Orphans’ Court of the county into which he was brought had jurisdiction to appoint a guardian of the person; and, the same having been judiciously exercised, its decree was affirmed.</p>
