. . " It should be remembered that the Domesday Survey was taken in 1086, twenty years after the 73 TORQUAY Conquest, and for the purposes of assessment for taxation ; all property seems to have increased in A'alue during this period, when the country was more settled under the strong rule of the Con- queror than under the lax authority of the Saxon Kings ; nor, though the Saxon lords were dis- possessed and banished in most instances, were the " villeins " deprived of their existence. The Dome...sday "manor" consisted of the lord's *' demesne " and the villagers' " lands, " on which they lived on condition of cultivating his home farm.
Our present agricultural system is not so different from this in one respect, that a farmer gives his labourer a cottage and plot of ground at a nominal rent, and the produce he gets from his own ground, which he cultivates after the long hours of work for his employer, is reckoned as part of his wages.
The "villein" of Norman times did not, of course, receive any payment, nor was he allowed to leave the land where he was born ; it was not until the late fourteenth century, when the Black Death had so depopulated England that agricul- tural labour was at a premium, that men left the villages where they were bom, and— in spite of stringent regulations to the contrary and a State- appointed maximum wage — went to work for landlords who, in the general dearth of labour, would pay them higher.
