/ˈkɑmən/

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

  COMMON. or right of common, English law. An encorporeal hereditament, which 
  consists in a profit which a man has in the lands of another. 12 S. & R. 32; 
  10 Wend. R. 647; 11 John. R. 498; 2 Bouv. Inst. 1640, et seq. 
       2. Common is of four sorts; of pasture, piscary, turbary and estovers. 
  Finch's Law, 157; Co. Litt. 122; 2 Inst. 86; 2 Bl. Com. 32. 
       3. - 1. Common of pasture is a right of feeding one's beasts on 
  another's land, and is either appendant, appurtenant, or in gross. 
       4. Common appendant is of common right, and it may be claimed in 
  pleading as appendant, without laying a prescription. Hargr. note to 2 Inst. 
  122, a note. 
       5. Rights of common appurtenant to the claimant's land are altogether 
  independent of the tenure, and do not arise from any absolute necessity; but 
  may be annexed to lands in other lordships, or extended to other beasts 
  besides. such as are generally commonable. 
       6. Common in gross, or at large, is such as is neither appendant nor 
  appurtenant to land, but is annexed to a man's person. All these species of 
  pasturable common, may be and usually are limited to number and time; but 
  there are also commons without stint, which last all the year. 2 Bl. Com. 
  34. 
       7. - 2. Common of piscary is the liberty of fishing in another man's 
  water. lb. See Fishery. 
       8. - 3. Common of turbary is the liberty of digging turf in another 
  man's ground. Ib. 
       9.-4. Common of estovers is the liberty of taking necessary wood-for 
  the use or furniture of a house or farm from another man's estate. Ib.; 10 
  Wend. R. 639. See Estovers. 
      10. The right of common is little known in the United States, yet there 
  are some regulations to be found in relation to this subject. The 
  constitution of Illinois provides for the continuance of certain commons in 
  that state. Const. art. 8, s. 8. 
      11. All unappropriated lands on the Chesapeake Bay, on the Shore of the 
  sea, or of any river or creek, and the bed of any river or creek, in the 
  eastern parts of the commonwealth, ungranted and used as common, it is 
  declared by statute in Virginia, shall remain so, and not be subject to 
  grant. 1 Virg. Rev. C. 142. 
      12. In most of the cities and towns in the United States, there are 
  considerable tracts of land appropriated to public use. These commons were 
  generally laid out with the cities or towns where they are found, either by 
  the original proprietors or by the early inhabitants. Vide 2 Pick. Rep. 475; 
  12 S. & R. 32; 2 Dane's. Ab. 610; 14 Mass. R. 440; 6 Verm. 355. See, in 
  general, Vin. Abr. Common; Bac. Abr. Common; Com. Dig. Common; Stark. Ev. 
  part 4, p. 383; Cruise on Real Property, h.t.; Metc. & Perk. Dig. Common, 
  and Common lands and General fields.

  personal, by several distinct titles, but by a unity of possession. Vide 
  Tenant in common; Estate in common.
