continuando

In trespasses of a permanent nature, where the injury is continually renewed-as by spoiling or consuming the herbage with the defendant's cattle, -the declaration may allege the injury to have been committed by continuation from one given day to another-which is called laying the action with a "continuando" and the plaintiff shall not be compelled to bring separate actions for every day's separate offense. But where the trespass is by one or several acts, each of which terminates in itself, and being once done cannot be done again, it cannot be laid with a "continuando;" yet if there be repeated acts of trespass committed, as cutting down a certain number of trees, they may be said to be done, not continually, but at divers days and times within a given period. 3 Bl Comm 212.
