"In Coke's day it was said that the lord of a manor had one court, a court baron,' for his freeholders and another court, a customary court,' for his copyholders, and that in the latter the lord or his steward was the judge. Now over his unfree men the lord had, according to the law of the king's court, almost unlimited power; short of maiming them he might do what he liked
