Note :
Indentures were originally duplicates ,
laid together and indented by a notched cut or line ,
or else written on the same piece of parchment and separated by a notched line so that the two papers or parchments corresponded to each other .
But indenting has gradually become a mere form ,
and is often neglected ,
while the writings or counterparts retain the name of indentures .
[
1913 Webster ]

Hence :
A contract by which anyone is bound to service .

conveyancing .
An instrument of writing containing a conveyance or contract between two or more persons ,
usually indented or cut unevenly ,
or in and out ,
on the top or ,
side .
2 .
Formerly it was common to make two instruments exactly alike ,
and it was then usual to write both on the same parchment ,
with some words or letters written between them ,
through which the parchment was cut ,
either in a straight or indented line ,
in such a manner as to leave one -
half of the word on one part ,
and half on the other .
The instrument usually commences with these words , "
This indenture ,"
which were not formerly sufficient ,
unless the parchment or paper was actually indented to make an indenture 5 Co .

but now ,
if the form of indenting the parchment be wanting ,
it may be supplied by being done in court ,
this being mere form .
Besides ,
it would be exceedingly difficult with even the most perfect instruments ,
to out parchment or paper without indenting it .
