Synopsis

Excerpt from Labour Laws: Or the Rights of Employer and Employed

Labour laws, including all sorts of contracts wherein one person engages to labour for another, are commonly known as the law of Master and Servant. Blackstone treats the law of master and servant as a domestic relation, saying that it is founded in convenience, whereby a man is directed to call in the assistance of others, where his own skill and labour will not be sufiicient to answer thé' cares incumbent upon'him. But at the common law, in the time of Blackstone, and°prev-ous, there was reason to class 1 u relatit between the wetlu and the employer as that of master and servant. Oi the several classes of servants, two at least were directly concerned with the house hold or family of the employer. Menial or domestic serve: and apprentices were practically a part of the family, and their regulation, control, privileges and duties might well be classed Within the bounds of domestic relations.
