"The word "transient" is the opposite of "resident".
"Transient person", as used in Act 1797 relating to the legal settlement of a pauper who is a transient person, is not to be understood in a strict, literal sense. It includes all who do not have a legal settlement in a town, and those who have come into a town to reside, but have not gained a settlement in a town, and those who have not gained a settlement therein.
