common field

common field
A term of American invention adopted by Congress to designate small tracts of land of a peculiar shape usually from one to three arpents in front by forty arpents in depth, used by the occupants of the French villages for the purposes of cultivation, and protected from the inroads of cattle by a common fence. The peculiar shape of the lot, its contiguity to others of similar shape, and the purposes to which it was applied, constituted it a common field lot. It could not be confounded with lots or tracts of land of any other character. Glasgow v Hortiz, (US) 1 Black 595, 600, 17 L Ed 110, 113.
