From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  BREVE, practice. A writ in which the cause of action is briefly stated, 
  hence its name. Fleta, lib. 2, c. 13, Sec. 25; Co. Lit. 73 b. 
       2. Writs are distributed into several classes. Some are called brevia 
  formata, others brevia de cursu, brevia judicialia, or brevia magistralia. 
  There is a further distinction with respect to real actions into brevia 
  nominata and innominata. The former, says Bacon, contain the time, place and 
  demand very particularly; and therefore by such writ several lands by 
  several titles cannot be demanded by the same writ. The latter contain only 
  a general complaint, without expressing time, damages, &c., as in trespass 
  quare clausum fregit, &o., and therefore several lands coming to the 
  demandant by several titles may be demanded in such writ. F. N. B. 209; 8 
  Co. 87;  Kielw. 105; Dy. 145; 2 Brownl. 274; Bac. Ab. Actions in General, C. 
  See Innominate contracts.
