— Also termed vagabundus (vag-[schwa]-b[schwa]n-d[schwa]s).
“[A]ll idle persons or vagabonds [are] … divided into three classes, idle and disorderly persons, rogues and va-gabonds, and incorrigible rogues; — all these are offenders against the good order, and blemishes in the gov-ernment, of any kingdom. They are therefore all punished … rogues and vagabonds with whipping and impri-sonment not exceeding six months ….” 4 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 170 (1769).
