The statutes of the various states, and the decisions upon them, have determined who shall be treated in those states, respectively, as absconding debtors, and liable to be proceeded against as such. A person who has been in a state only transiently, or has come into it without any intention of settling therein, cannot be treated as an absconding debtor (2 Gaines [N. Y.] 318; 15 Johns. [N. y.] 196; 4 Watts [Pa.] 422) ; nor can one who openly changes his residence (3 Yerg. [Tenn.] 414; 5 Conn. 117). For the rule in Vermont, see 2 Vt. 489; 6 Vt. 614.
