4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
RESIDENT, international law. A minister, according to diplomatic language, 
of a third order, less in dignity than an ambassador, or an envoy. This term 
formerly related only to the continuance of the minister's stay, but now it 
is confined to ministers of this class. 
     2. The resident does not represent the prince's person in his dignity, 
but only his affairs. His representation is in reality of the same nature as 
that of the envoy; hence he is often termed, as well as the envoy, a 
minister of the second order, thus distinguishing only two classes of public 
ministers, the former consisting of ambassadors who are invested with the 
representative character in preeminence, the latter comprising all other 
ministers, who do not possess that exalted character. This is the most 
necessary distinction, and indeed the only essential one. Vattel liv. 4, c. 
6, 73. 



5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
RESIDENT, persons. A person coming into a place with intention to establish 
his domicil or permanent residence, and who in consequence actually remains 
there. Time is not so essential as the intent, executed by making or 
beginning an actual establishment, though it be abandoned in a longer, or 
shorter period. See 6 Hall's Law Journ. 68; 3 Hagg. Eccl. R. 373; 20 John. 
211 2 Pet. Ad. R. 450; 2 Scamm. R. 377. 



6. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
RESIDENT, adj.  Unable to leave.
