[81] Ibid. 69 § 2.
[82] Ibid. 70 § 4: ‘Si liber servum occidat similiter reddat parentibus 40 den. et duas mufflas et unum pullum [al. billum] mutilatum.’ The mufflae are thick gloves. Compare Ancient Laws of Wales, i. 239, 511; the bondman has no galanas (wergild) but if injured he receives a saraad; ‘the saraad of a bondman is twelve pence, six for a coat for him, three for trousers, one for buskins, one for a hook and one for a rope, and if he be a woodman let the hook-penny be for an axe.’ If we read billum instead of pullum the English rule may remind us of the Welsh. His hedger’s gloves and bill-hook are the arms appropriate to the serf, ‘servitutis arma’; cf. Leg. Hen. 78 § 2. As to the man-bót see Liebermann, Leg. Edwardi, p. 71.
[83] In Leg. Hen. 81 § 3 (a passage which seems to show that by his master’s favour even the servus may sometimes sue for a wrong done to him) we have this sum:—villanus : cothsetus : servus :: 30 : 15 : 6.
[84] Ibid. 75 § 4: ‘suum peccatum est et dampnum.’ See also 70 § 10, an exceedingly obscure passage.
[85] Ibid. 59 § 23.
[86] Ibid. 70 § 5; but for this our author has to go back as far as Ine.
[87] Ibid. 59 § 25.
[88] Ibid. 59 § 24; 85 § 4: ‘solus furatur qui cum servo furatur.’
[89] Ibid. 78 § 3; 59 § 25.
