Note 370 — Chapter III · OUTLAWS, WANDERING WORKMEN, AND PEASANTS OUT OF BOND

“Rolls of Parliament,” ii. p. 340, A.D. 1376. To have them outlawed brings no relief to their masters, for they manage not to be caught and carefully avoid the places where they are known: “Et si les ditz servantz corores soient utlagez à la sute de la partie, il n’est profit al sutour, ne damage ne chastiement al servant futyf, par cause q’ils ne poont estre trovez ne jà ne pensent repeirir en pays là cù ils ont ensi servi.” Same petition.
