VILLAGE RULES. 117 the families -witliin the village or township would seem to be bound together throvigh their representa- tive heads by just as intricate a body of customary rules as they are in respect of those parts of the village domain which answer to the Teutonic common mark and arable mark. The truth is, that nothing can be more complex than the customs of an Indian village, though in a sense they are only binding on chiefs of families. The examination of these customs, which have for t...heir object to secure a self-acting or- ganisation not only for the community as a whole, but for the various trades and callings which fractions of it pursue, does not fall within the scope of the present Lectures, but it is a subject full of interest. I ob- serve that recent writers are dissatisfied with the his- torical theory which attributes the municipal institu- tions of mediaeval Europe to an exclusively Roman origin, and that they are seeking to take into account the usages inherited from the conquerors of the Empire.
