SERVANTS
(bouvier) | SERVANTS, (negro or mulatto,) Pennsylvania. By the fourth section of the act
for the gradual abolition of slavery, passed the first day of March, 1780, 1
Smith's Laws of Penn. 492, it is "provided that every negro or mulatto
child, born within this state after the passing of this act, (who would in
case this act had not been made, have been a servant for years, or life, or
a slave) shall be by virtue of this act the servant of such person, or his
assigns who would in such case have been entitled to the service of such
child, until such child attain unto the age of twenty-eight years, in the
manner and on the conditions, whereon servants bound by indenture for four
years are or may be retained or holden; and shall be liable to like
correction and punishment, and entitled to like relief, in case he be evilly
treated by his master, and to like freedom dues and privileges, as servants
bound by indenture for four years are entitled, unless the person to whom
such services belong shall abandon his claim to the same; in which case the
overseers of the poor where such child shall be abandoned shall by indenture
bind out every such child so abandoned as an apprentice for a time not
exceeding the age hereinbefore limited for the service of such children."
And by the thirteenth section it is enacted, "that no covenant of personal
servitude or apprenticeship whatsoever shall be valid or binding on a negro
or mulatto for a longer time than seven years, unless such servant or
apprentice were at the commencement of such servitude or apprenticeship,
under the age of twenty-one years, in which case such negro or mulatto may
be holden as a servant or apprentice, respectively, according to the
covenant, as the case shall be, until he shall attain the age of twenty-
eight years, but no longer." See 6 Binn. 204; 1 Browne's R. 369, n.
2. The act requires that a register of such children as would have been
slaves shall be kept by a public officer therein designated. The want of
registry entitles such child to freedom.

SERVANTS
(bouvier) | SERVANTS. In Louisiana they are divided into free servants and slaves. See
Slaves; Slavery.
2. Free servants are, in general, all free persons who let, hire, or
engage their services to another in the state, to be employed therein at any
work, commerce, or occupation whatever, for the benefit of him who has
contracted with them, for a certain sum or retribution, or upon certain
conditions.
3. There are three kinds of free servants in the state, to wit:
4.-1. Those who only hire out their services by the day, week, month,
or year, in consideration of certain wages.
5.-2. Those who engage to serve for a fixed time for a certain
consideration, and who are therefore considered not as having hired out, but
as having sold their services.
6.-3. Apprentices that is, those who engage to serve any one, in order
to learn some art, trade, or profession. Civ. Code of Lo. art. 155, 156,
157.

SERVANTS
(bouvier) | SERVANTS, menial. Domestics those who receive wages, and who are lodged and
fed in the house of another, and who are employed in his services. Such
servants are not particularly recognized by law. They are called menial
servants, or domestics, from living infra moenia, within the walls of the
house. 1 Bl. Com. 324; Wood's Inst. 53; 1 Sw. Syst. 218. The right of the
master to their services in every respect is grounded on the contract
between them. 2. Laborers, or persons hired by the day's work, or any longer
time, are not considered servants. 1 Sw. Syst. 218; 5 Binn. 167; 3 Serg. &

Observants
(gcide) | Observantine \Ob`ser*van"tine\, n. [Fr. observantin.] (R. C.
Ch.)
One of a branch of the Order of Franciscans, who profess to
adhere more strictly than the Conventuals to the intention of

Servant of servants
(gcide) | Servant \Serv"ant\, n. [OE. servant, servaunt, F. servant, a &
p. pr. of servir to serve, L. servire. See Serve, and cf.
Sergeant.]
1. One who serves, or does services, voluntarily or on
compulsion; a person who is employed by another for menial
offices, or for other labor, and is subject to his
command; a person who labors or exerts himself for the
benefit of another, his master or employer; a subordinate
helper. "A yearly hired servant." --Lev. xxv. 53.
[1913 Webster]
Men in office have begun to think themselves mere
agents and servants of the appointing power, and not
agents of the government or the country. --D.
Webster.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In a legal sense, stewards, factors, bailiffs, and
other agents, are servants for the time they are
employed in such character, as they act in
subordination to others. So any person may be legally
the servant of another, in whose business, and under
whose order, direction, and control, he is acting for
the time being. --Chitty.
[1913 Webster]
2. One in a state of subjection or bondage.
[1913 Webster]
Thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt. --Deut. v.
15.
[1913 Webster]
3. A professed lover or suitor; a gallant. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
In my time a servant was I one. --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]
Servant of servants, one debased to the lowest condition of
servitude.
Your humble servant, or Your obedient servant, phrases of
civility formerly often used in closing a letter, now
archaic; -- at one time such phrases were exaggerated to
include Your most humble, most obedient servant.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Our betters tell us they are our humble servants,
but understand us to be their slaves. --Swift.
