An Act for shortening the Time of Prescription in certain Cuses (a).

[1st August, 1832.]

§ 1. Time limited for establishing rights of common and other profits à prendre...1.

§2. Ways, easements, and watercourses...4.

§ 3. Light...10.

§4. How periods of limitation are to be computed...13.

§ 6. Period less than that provided by statute not to be allowed...18.

§ 8. Time excluded in computation of period of forty years...19.

WHEREAS the expression "Time Immemorial, or Time whereof 2 & 3 Will. 4, the Memory of Man runneth not to the contrary," is now by c. 71, s. 1. the law of England in many cases considered to include and denote the whole period of time from the reign of King Richard

2 & 3 Will. 4, enjoyed is sometimes defeated by showing the commencement c. 71, s. 1. of such enjoyment, which is in many cases productive of inconvenience and injustice; for remedy thereof, be it enacted, That no claim which may be lawfully made at the common law, by custom, prescription (b), or grant, to any right of common (c) or other profit or benefit, to be taken and enjoyed from or upon any land of our sovereign lord the King, his heirs or successors, or any land being parcel of the Duchy of Lancaster or of the Duchy of Cornwall (d), or of any ecclesiastical or lay person, or body corporate, except such matters and things as are herein specially provided for, and except tithes, rent, and services, shall, where such right, profit, or benefit shall have been actually taken and enjoyed by any person claiming right thereto without interruption for the full period of thirty years, be defeated or destroyed by showing only that such right, profit, or benefit was first taken or enjoyed at any time prior to such period of thirty years, but nevertheless such claim may be defeated in any other way by which the same is now liable to be defeated; and when such right, profit, or benefit shall have years' enjoy been so taken and enjoyed as aforesaid, for the full period of sixty years, the right thereto shall be deemed absolute and indefeasible, unless it shall appear that the same was taken and unless had by enjoyed by some consent or agreement expressly made or given for that purpose by deed or writing.

(1) Subject

matter of the first section.

(a) By 21 & 22 Vict. c. 42, this act was extended to Ireland.

The reader is referred to Note II. at the end of this act (pp. 20 et seq.) dealing with the nature of prescription at common law; what things may or may not be claimed by prescription; how a right depending upon it may be lost; the difference between prescription and custom; and the modes of claiming profits à prendre.

(c) As to rights of common, see Note III. at the end of this act.

(d) The provisions of this act are not affected by the Act for limiting Actions and Suits by the Duke of Cornwall, in relation to Real Property (23 & 24 Vict. c. 53, s. 2).

(1) Subject-matter of the Section...2.

(2) Enjoyment under the Section.....3.

Prescriptive rights in gross (for instances of which see Barrington's case, 8 Rep. 136 b; Welcome v. Upton, 6 M. & W. 536; Devonshire v. Pattinson, 20 Q. B. Div. 263) are not within the scope of the statute (Shuttleworth v. Le Fleming, 19 C. B. N. S. 687).

The first section relates to such claims as may be lawfully made at common law, by custom, prescription, or grant, to any right of common or other profit or benefit to be taken or enjoyed from or upon any land. Tithes, rent and services are excepted from this act. The Tithe Act, 1832, provides the limitation of time with respect to claims of a modus decimandi, or exemption from, or discharge of tithes (see Shelford's Tithe Acts, 3rd ed.; Leach's Tithe Acts, 5th ed.). The Real Property Lim. Acts, 1833 & 1874, post, limit the time within which actions and suits must be brought respecting tithes not belonging to a spiritual or eleemosynary corporation sole. The limitation of time for the recovery of tithes is not affected by the Tithe Act, 1836 (see s. 49).

The first section of this act includes different subjects from those in the second, and distinguishes between easements and common or profit à prendre; a different limitation is established for the former and latter
