In this case the Lords found, that though a minister had been in use, past memory of man, to graze his cows and horse with a neighbouring tenant, yet that did not bar him from asking a designation of grass. Found also, that the Act of Parliament, which forbids arable ground to be designed to a minister for his grass, is to be understood of infield ground. The same had been found before in the case of the Minister of Barry.
