Страница 126 - In later reigns the pleadings upon ancient demesne are extremely numerous ; and the proof of ancient demesne still rests with the Domesday Survey. Other cases in which its evidence is yet appealed to in our courts of law, are in proving the antiquity of mills, and in setting up prescriptions in non decimando. By stat. 9 Edw.
