'' He that has free land of forty shillings by the year.' Anciently, such person could serve on juries, vote for knights ot the shire, — do any act permitted ot one probus et legalis.^ With us, the word has no exact meaning; it is found as an addition to the names of parties in declarations, indictments, and common-law forms of writs." YES; YEZ.
