Black's Law Dictionary

By the laws of St. Edward the Confessor, lf any man lay a third night in an Inn, he was called a "third-night-awn-hinde," and his host was answerable for him If he committed any offense. The first night, forman-nlght or uncouth, (unknown.) he was reckoned a stranger; the second night, twa-nlght, a guest; and the third night, an awn-hlnde, a domestic.
