  DOMESTICS. Those who reside in the same house with the master they serve the 
  term does not extend to workmen or laborers employed out of doors. 5 Binn. 
  R. 167; Merl. Rep. h.t. The Act of Congress of April 30, 1790, s. 25, uses 
  the word domestic in this sense. 
       2. Formerly, this word was used to designate those who resided in the 
  house of another, however exalted their station, and  who performed services 
  for him. Voltaire, in writing to the French queen, in 1748, says) " Deign to 
  consider, madam, that I am one of the domestics of the king, and 
  consequently yours, lily companions, the gentlemen of the king," &c. 
       3. Librarians, secretaries, and persons in such honorable employments, 
  would not probably be considered domestics, although they might reside in 
  the house of their respective employers. 
       4. Pothier, to point out the distinction between a domestic and a 
  servant, gives the following example: A literary man who lives and lodges 
  with you, solely to be your companion, that you may profit by his 
  conversation and learning, is your domestic; for all who live in the same 
  house and eat at the same table with the owner of the house, are his 
  domestics, but they are not servants. On the contrary, your Valet de, 
  chambre, to whom you pay wages, and who sleeps out of your house, is not, 
  properly speaking, your domestic, but your servant. Poth. Proc. Cr. sect. 2, 
  art. 5, Sec. 5; Poth. Ob. 710, 828; 9 Toull. n. 314; H. De Pansey, Des 
  Justices de Paix, c. 30, n. 1. Vide Operative; Servant.
