liam , son of Robert of Emstrode , his nllan , and all his progeny , and all his possessions . Hugh de Ringerden gave to the Abbey of Selby , as a charitable donation , Robert , son of Juliana ,-, of Walton , " w ^ h all his progeny and all his chattels . " In the middle of the thirteenth century , the abbot and convent of Bruerne sold Hugh the

Shepherd " their naif or villan of Certelle , with all his chattels , and all his progeny ; " and about the same peridE the abbot bought of Matilda , relic of John the Physician , for twenty shillings , Richard , son of William de Estende , of Lintram , " her villan , with all his chattels and all his progeny ; " and " for a half a mark of silver ,

a villan of Philip de Mandeville , with all his chattels and all his progeny . " In the charters of manumission , a third party is generally introduced , either because the villan owed his liberty to the interference of a protector , or because it was considered a necessary form that the serf should not be bought by himself . Perhaps , as a serf , he was incapable of performing the transaction .

In the time of King John , Emma de Dumard liberated a villan on her estates , and gave him a charter of manumission , for which liberty and confirmation Richard Eitz Hugh gave her for him fifteen shillings of silver ; the charter was to serve as a protection to him in case any other person should attempt to lay claim to him . In the same manner Richard du Hie made a villan free for half a mark

of silver , given him by Richard de Hammelleden . We can trace these charters of manumission down to a very late period . In the second year of the reign of Richard II ., immediately before the great insurrection of the peasantry , we find John Wyurd or Alspach manumitting a female villan , and giving her , with her liberty , her goods and chattels , and the liberty of all her offspring ; and we have a charter of affranchisement by the priory of Beauvalle , in the sixth year of the reign of Henry V ., and another by George Neville , Lord Bergevenny , as late as the second year of the reign of Henry VIII .

Animal And Human Instinct.

ANIMAL AND HUMAN INSTINCT .

( Continued from p . 217 . ) We have seen that the organic actions or movements constantly taking place in every atom of living structure , both vegetable and animal , are altogether involuntary . We now proceed to inquire into the nature of those actions of animals and man which are voluntary , or subject to the will of the animal , and these are of two kinds , instinctive and rational .

Instinctive movements .-rrThesG actions result from the will , but not from the reason of the animal . They are called forth by some internal impulse of which the animal is not unconscious , but which is not determined by a process of reasoning , being wholly independent
