C Servants Law
Servants to yield to Gentlemen A servant ought to behave with the same humility
and deference to every gentleman as to his own master,
in every thing that is not incompetable with
his duty to his master.
Insolent Servants may be chastised by Gentlemen If a menial servant or day labourer behave in an
affrontive manner to a gentleman the gentleman
may give him moderate chastisement on the spot
and such chastisement shall not justify the servant for
assaulting the gentleman in return if he can save himself by
flight; unless it be to save himself from receiving irreparable
damage
Reasons
A servant has been trained up in the habit of submission
and obedience (they are among the necessary duties
of his calling.) A gentleman is that of independence.
It is much less painful therefore for a servant to digest an
affront even from one of his own rank than it is to a gentleman
much more an affront from a gentleman: A blow from a
gentleman -
