Book Description
Master and servant acts, the cornerstone of English employment law for more than four hundred years, gave largely unsupervised, inferior magistrates wide discretion over employment relations, including the power to whip, fine, and imprison men, women, and children for breach of private contracts with their employers. The English model was adopted, modified, and reinvented in more than a thousand colonial statutes and ordinances regulating the recruitment, retention, and discipline of workers in shops, mines, and factories; on farms, in forests, and on plantations; and at sea. This collection presents the first integrated comparative account of employment law, its enforcement, and its importance throughout the British Empire. Sweeping in its geographic and temporal scope, this volume tests the relationship between enacted law and enforced law in varied settings, with different social and racial structures, different economies, and different constitutional relationships to Britain. Investigations of the enforcement of master and servant law in England, the British Caribbean, India, Africa, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, and colonial America shed new light on the nature of law and legal institutions, the role of inferior courts in compelling performance, and the definition of "free labor" within a multiracial empire.

In all these cases the words 'servant' and ' service ' are used; but there is nothing to indicate the kind of servant or of service in respect of which the dicta and decisions occurred. " There is a case in the Year-Book, Mich. 10 H. 6, pl. 30, fol. 8 B, in which it is said that an action does not lie against a chaplain upon the statute of laborers for not chanting the mass; for it is said he may not be always disposed to sing, and can no more be coerced by force of the statute than a knight, esquire or entleman.

Lanyon, 6 T. R. 221, the first count in the declaration stated that the plaintiff, who was a currier, nor proper land which he may till himself, to serve whoever might require him to such wages as were paid in the twentieth year of the king's reign, or five or six other years before.
