      On the defendants’ Appeal.
    
    
      A person domiciled within the insurrectionary district appoints aw agent and them seeks refuge within loyal territory. No change of domicile is shown. The-agent buys cotton for the principal, they being on different sides of the line at the lime. The cotton is captured and the proceeds paid into the Treasury.
    
    
      The court below decides: (1) That change of domicile will not he presumed against a loyal refugee during- the war of the rebellion; (2) That an antecedent agency, established by a loyal person before he left his domicile within the insurreetionery district, was not terminated by his crossing the lines, and he might, through his agent, acquire valid title to personal in-operty within the insurrectionary district; (3) A loyal refugee could not carry on commercial intercourse across the lines; otherwise his rights are the same as if he had remained at his domicile.
    The decision of the court below is affirmed on the same grounds.
