PURPRESTURE
(bouvier) | PURPRESTURE. According to Lord Coke, purpresture, is a close or enclosure,
that is, when one encroaches or makes several to himself that which ought to
be in common to many; as if an individual were to build between high and low
water-mark on the side of a public river. In England this is a nuisance; and
in cases of this kind an injunction will be granted, on ex parte affidavits,
to restrain such a purpresture and nuisance. 2 Bouv. Inst. n, 2382; 4 Id. n.
