  Immemorial \Im`me*mo"ri*al\, a. [Pref. im- not + memorial: cf.
     F. imm['e]morial.]
     Extending beyond the reach of memory, record, or tradition;
     indefinitely ancient; as, existing from time immemorial.
     ``Immemorial elms.'' --Tennyson. ``Immemorial usage or
     custom.'' --Sir M. Hale.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Time immemorial (Eng. Law.), a time antedating (legal)
        history, and beyond ``legal memory'' so called; formerly
        an indefinite time, but in 1276 this time was fixed by
        statute as the begining of the reign of Richard I. (1189).
        Proof of unbroken possession or use of any right since
        that date made it unnecessary to establish the original
        grant. In 1832 the plan of dating legal memory from a
        fixed time was abandoned and the principle substituted
        that rights which had been enjoyed for full twenty years
        (or as against the crown thirty years) should not be
        liable to impeachment merely by proving that they had not
        been enjoyed before.
        [1913 Webster]
