MASTER
(bouvier)
MASTER. This word has several meanings. 1. Master is one who has control
over a servant or apprentice. A master stands in relation to his
apprentices, in loco parentis, and is bound to fulfill that relation, which
the law generally enforces. He is also entitled to be obeyed by his
apprentices, as if they were his children. Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
2.-2. Master is one who is employed in teaching children, known
generally as a schoolmaster; as to his powers, see Correction.
3.-3. Master is the name of an officer: as, the ship Benjamin
Franklin, whereof A B is master; the master of the rolls; master in
chancery, &c.
4.-4. By master is also understood a principal who employs another to
perform some act or do something for him. The law having adopted the maxim
of the civil law, qui facit per alium facit per se; the agent is but an
instrument, and the master is civilly responsible for the act of his agent,
as if it were his own, when he either commands him to do an act, or puts him
in a condition, of which such act is a result, or by the absence of due care
and control, either previously in the choice of his agent, or immediately in
the act itself, negligently suffers him to do an injury. Story, Ag. Sec.
454, note; Noy's Max. c. 44; Salk. 282; 1 East. R. 106; 1 Bos. & Pul. 404; 2
H. Bl. 267; 5 Barn. & Cr. 547; 2 Taunt. R. 314; 4 Taunt. R. 649; Mass. 364,
385; 17 Mass. 479, 509; 1 Pick. 47 5; 4 Watts, 222; 2 Harr. & Gill., 316; 6
Cowen, 189; 8 Pick. 23; 5 Munf. 483. Vide Agent; Agency; Driver; Servant.
