- writ of prohibition of waste
-
A common-law writ, which anciently lay for the owner of the inheritance against the commission of waste by a tenant in dower, or by the curtesy, or a guardian in chivalry, which issued out of chancery, was directed to the sheriff and commanded him to prevent waste from being committed, and in the execution of which the sheriff might, if necessary, call to his aid the posse comitatus.
Subsequently the scope of the writ was so enlarged as to make it available for the purpose of preventing waste by a tenant for life or for years. See 56 Am J1st Waste § 30.
