sense, denoting one who is without a home; a strolling,
idle, worthless person. Vagabonds are described in old
English statutes as "such as wake on the night and
sleep on the day, and haunt customable taverns and
alehouses, and routs about; and no man wot from whence
they came, nor whither they go." In American law, the
term vagrant is employed in the same sense. Cf Rogue,
n., 1. --Burrill. --Bouvier.
