Note 112 — Chapter I · THE RURAL POPULATION
Reading edition
Northumberland County History, vol. viii., p. 220 (one may add that in parts of Northumberland the labourers are still called “bondagers”; Mr. Clay tells me that in the Calder valley farmers still use “daywork” as a unit for measuring fields). See also Calendar of Proceedings in Chancery, temp. Eliz., D. d. 2, 44, for a suit by a farmer to recover services due from tenants.
