THIRD-NIGHT-AWN-HINDE

By the laws of St. Edward the Confessor, if 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 night, or uncouth, (unknown,) he was reckoned a stranger; the second night, twa night, a guest; and the third night, an awn hinde, a domestic. Bract. 1. 3.
