Servants and Slaves
Whatever is acquired by the servant, is acquired for the master. A slave is not a person. A slave, and everything a slave has, belongs to his master. He who acts by or through another, acts for himself. He who does anything through another, is considered as doing it himself. The master is liable for injury done by his servant. He is not presumed to consent who obeys the orders of his father or his master.
