Definition :

Vraic, seaweed. It is used in great quantities by the inhabitants of Jersey and Guernsey for manure, and also for fuel by the poorer classes. In Benest v. Pipon, (1829) 1 Kn 60, on appeal from Jersey to the Privy Council, it was held that the lord of a manor could not establish a claim to the exclusive right of cutting seaweed on rocks situate below low-water mark, except by a grant from the Crown, or by such long and undisturbed enjoyment of it as to give him a title by prescription.
