184. Eaton v. Western is reported in L. R., 9 Q. B. D. p. 636. Speaking of
Royce v. Charlton, Jessel, M.R., says: "I think that case was not
rightly decided, and we decide the present case on the first point
with the understanding that in effect it overrules Royce v. Charlton.”
Sir James Hannen observed: "There is a broad distinction between
this case and that of an apprentice taken into the house. In the
latter case, I am inclined to think that the master would be entitled
to take the apprentice with him if he removed to another place, and
that it would be beyond the power of the apprentice to refuse to go.'
The case also decides that there was no breach of the covenant to serve
the firm, inasmuch as the firm was split up into two firms, one
carrying on the manufacturing part of the business at Derby, and the
other the repairing and agency part of the business in London. "The
apprentice looked to the advantage of being educated in a firm
carrying on the business in its entirety, and he is entitled to see the
business of buying and selling as well as the mere manufacturing."

B. 718, where it was held that the respondent had committed the offence of employing a child within sections 6 & 7 of 30 & 31 Vict. c. 146, though the respondent had no interest in the proceeds of the sale of the child's work, and though the materials were supplied by the child's mother.

,, 670. Munday v. Thames Iron Works Co. is reported in 47 L. T., N. S. 351. "The liability of employers is considerably increased, and if the Legislature had intended that workmen should have a double remedy, I think we should have found something in the Act to indicate it." -Manisty, J.

THE LAW OF

MASTER AND SERVANT.

INTRODUCTION.

THE relation of Master and Servant is created by contract. Their duties to, and rights against, each other arise out of contracts, express or implied. The only exceptions are duties and rights created by statute (a).

This is a statement of the law of Master and Servant as it is and as it has long been; and abundance of authority in support of these propositions will be found in this book. But labourers and workmen were not always free to make contracts with their masters. Services were not performed and exacted in virtue of any agreement. Traces of serfage are said to be still found in the law of Master and Servant. It may be well to preface the description of the law as it is with a short history of its growth.

Serfage or villenage is an early English institution; even slavery once existed in this country. The ceorl of early times-who corresponded to the liten, leten, lazzen, aldien, aldionen of old German society-was not exactly a

Master and Servant. Out of the relation grow not only rights in personam, but rights in rem.
