   note: the word hundred, as well as thousand, million, etc.,
         often takes a plural form. we may say hundreds, or many
         hundreds, meaning individual objects or units, but with
         an ordinal numeral adjective in constructions like five
         hundreds, or eight hundreds, it is usually intended to
         consider each hundred as a separate aggregate; as, ten
         hundreds are one thousand.

[6] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
hundred, eng. law. a district of country originally comprehending one 
hundred families. in many cases, when an offence is committed within the 
hundred, the inhabitants tire civilly responsible to the party injured. 
     2. this rule was probably borrowed from the nations of german origin, 
where it was known. montesq. esp. des lois, iv. 30, c. 17. it was 
established by clotaire, among the franks. 11 toull. n. 237. 
     3. to make the innocent pay for the guilty, seems to be contrary to the 
first principles of justice, and can be justified only by necessity. in some 
of the united states laws have been passed making cities or counties 
responsible for, the destruction of property by a mob. this can be justified 
only on the ground that it is the interest of every one that property should 
be protected, and that it is for the general good such laws should exist.
