Tbe lords had the absolute disposal of
them. They might be attached to the

veyance from one lord to another
They could not chance their place or
hold proiierty—in short, they were
slaves under their obligation of per
petual servitude, which the consent of
the master alone could dissolve. The
system was not fairly abolished until
the reign of Charles II.. and so late as
1775 men were bought and sold in
Scotland with the estates to which they
were bound.

bundles of standard sizes—such as
twenty-live pennies in a handle—count
them, add them all ap together, and
hand out a slip of paner on which Is
printed the total sum In dollars and
cents. An electric motor turns the
