in the English law, is used for a villain, or tenant in villenage*.—The Romans had two kinds of bondmen; one called servus, who were those either bought for money, taken in war, left by succession, or purchased by some other lawful acquisition; or else born of their bondwomen, and called verneae. We may add a third kind of bondmen mentioned by Justinian, called adscripti glebe, or agricentiti; who were not bound to the person, but to the ground or place, and followed by him who had the land. These in our law are called villains regardants, as belonging to the manor or place.
