Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Homesteads—Abandonment—Change of Residence—Voting in Another State. The sixth subdivision of section 2572 of the General Statutes of 1901, reading, “If a person shall go into another state' or territory, and vs-hile there exercise the right of suffrage, he shall be considered and held to have lost his residence in this state,” is'intended merely for the guidance of the judges of election in passing upon the qualifications of voters, and does not prescribe a test for determining the residence of the claimant of a homestead in this state. The fact that one has voted in another state or territory does not conclusively establish the loss of a homestead right which depends upon a residence here.</p>
