a recompense or consideration made to a person for his pains and industry in another man's business. The word is used in the statute 23 Edw. III. cap. 1. Salarium at first signified the rents or profits of a falle, hall, or house (and in Gascoigne they now call the seats of the gentry salars, as we do halls); but afterwards it was taken for any wages, stipend, or annual allowance.
