Ancient demesne (Eng. Law), a tenure by which all manors
belonging to the crown, in the reign of William the
Conqueror, were held. The numbers, names, etc., of these
were all entered in a book called Domesday Book.
Ancient lights (Law), windows and other openings which have
been enjoined without molestation for more than twenty
years. In England, and in some of the United States, they
acquire a prescriptive right.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Old; primitive; pristine; antique; antiquated;
old-fashioned; obsolete.
Usage: Ancient, Antiquated, Obsolete, Antique,
Antic, Old. -- Ancient is opposed to modern, and
has antiquity; as, an ancient family, ancient
landmarks, ancient institutions, systems of thought,
etc. Antiquated describes that which has gone out of
use or fashion; as, antiquated furniture, antiquated
laws, rules, etc. Obsolete is commonly used, instead
of antiquated, in reference to language, customs,
etc.; as, an obsolete word or phrase, an obsolete
expression. Antique is applied, in present usage,
either to that which has come down from the ancients;
as, an antique cameo, bust, etc.; or to that which is
made to imitate some ancient work of art; as, an
antique temple. In the days of Shakespeare, antique
was often used for ancient; as, "an antique song," "an
antique Roman;" and hence, from singularity often
attached to what is ancient, it was used in the sense
of grotesque; as, "an oak whose antique root peeps
out; " and hence came our present word antic, denoting
grotesque or ridiculous. We usually apply both ancient
and old to things subject to gradual decay. We say, an
old man, an ancient record; but never, the old stars,
an old river or mountain. In general, however, ancient
is opposed to modern, and old to new, fresh, or
recent. When we speak of a thing that existed
formerly, which has ceased to exist, we commonly use
ancient; as, ancient republics, ancient heroes; and
not old republics, old heroes. But when the thing
which began or existed in former times is still in
existence, we use either ancient or old; as, ancient
statues or paintings, or old statues or paintings;
ancient authors, or old authors, meaning books.

ANCIENT DEMESNE
(bouvier) | ANCIENT DEMESNE, Eng. law. Those lands which either were reserved to the
crown at the original distribution of landed property, or such as came to it
afterwards, by forfeiture or other means. 1. Sal. 57; hob. 88; 4 Inst. 264;
1 Bl. Com. 286; Bac. Ab. h.t.; F. N. B. 14.

DE SON TORT DEMESNE
(bouvier) | DE SON TORT DEMESNE, Of his own wrong, pleading. The name of a replication
in an action for a wrong or injury. When the defendant pleads a matter
merely in excuse of an injury to the person or reputation of another, the
plaintiff may reply de son tort demesne sans tiel cause; that it was the
defendant's own wrong without such cause. Vide the articles, De Injuria, and
Without, and also 8 Co. 69 a; Bro. h.t.; Com. Dig. Pleader, F 18.
|
DEMESNE
(bouvier) | DEMESNE, Eng. law. The name given to that portion of the lands of a manor
which the lord retained in his own hands for the use of himself and family.
These lands were called terra dominicales or demesne lands, because they
were occupied by the lord, or dominus manerii, and his servants, &c. 2 Bl.
Com. 90. Vide Ancient Demesne; Demesne as of fee; and Soil assault demesne.
|
DEMESNE AS OF FE
(bouvier) | DEMESNE AS OF FEE. A man is said to be seised in his demesne as of fee of a
corporeal inheritance, because he has a property dominicum or demesne in the
thing itself. 2 Bl. Com. 106. But when he has no dominion in the thing
itself, as in the case of an incorporeal hereditament, he is said to be
seised as of fee, and not in his demesne as of fee. Litt. s. 10; 17 S. & R.
196; Jones on Land Titles, i66.
2. Formerly it was the practice in an action on the case, e. g. for a
nuisance to real estate, to aver in the declaration the seisin of the
plaintiff in demesne as of fee; and this is still necessary, in order to
estop the record with the land; so that it may run with or attend the title.
Arch. Civ. Pl. 104; Co. Ent. 9, pl. 8 Lill. Ent. 62; 1 Saund. Rep. 346;
Willes, Rep. 508. But such an action may be maintained on the possession as
well as on the seisin, although the effect of the record in this case upon
the title would not be the same. Steph. on Pl. 322 Arch. Dig. 104; 1 Lutw.
12; 2 Mod. 71; 4 T. R. 718; 2 Saund. 1 Arch. Dig. 105; Cro. Car. 500. 575
|
SON ASSAULT DEMESNE
(bouvier) | SON ASSAULT DEMESNE, pleading. His own first assault. A form of a plea to
justify an assault and battery, by which the defendant asserts that the
plaintiff committed an assault upon him, and the defendant merely defended
himself.
2. When the plea is supported by evidence, it is a sufficient
justification, unless the retaliation by the defendant were excessive, and
bore no proportion to the necessity, or to the provocation received. 1 East,
P. C. 406; 1 Chit. Pr. 595.
|
TENANT OF THE DEMESNE
(bouvier) | TENANT OF THE DEMESNE, Eng. law. One who is tenant of a mesne lord; as where
A is tenant of B, and C of A; B is the lord, A the mesne lord and C tenant
of the demesne. Ham. N. P. 392, 393.
