ing of until the time of the wars of the
roses. Bracton, the famous lawyer of
the time of Henry VIII, informs us

them from him whenever he pleased,
the slave having no redress at law;
hence the impossibility of a mans pur-
chasing his own freedom. The only
hope for the slave was to try to get
into one of the walled towns, when he
became free, the townsmen granting
him liberty on the condition of his help
