Common
Common, a profit which a man has in the land of another; it derives its name from the community of interest which thence arises between the claimant and the owner of the soil, or between the claimant and other commoners entitled to the same right; all which parties are entitled to bring actions for injuries done to their respective interests, and that both as against strangers and against each other. It is called an incorporeal right, which lies in grant, as if originally commencing in some agreement between lords and tenants, for some valuable consideration which, by lapse of time, being formed into a prescription, continues, although there be no deed or instrument in writing which proves the original contract or agreement.

Park
Park [fr. parcus, Lat., fr. parco, to spare], a place of privilege for wild beasts of venery, and other wild beasts of the forest and chase; who are to have a firm place and protection there, so that no man may hurt or chase them without licence of the owner. A park differs from a forest, in that, as Compton observes, a subject may hold a park by prescription or royal grant. It differs from a chase because a park must be enclosed; if it lie open, it is a good cause of seizing it into the sovereign's hands, as a free chase may be if it lie enclosed. To a park three things are required-1st, a grant thereof; 2nd, enclosure by pale, wall, or hedge; 3rd, beasts of a park, such as buck, does, etc.; see Sir Charles Howard's case, 1626 Cro Car 59; Pease v. Courtney, (1904) 2 Ch 509. The word 'park,' as used in the (English) Settled Land Acts, is not confined to an ancient legal park but includes an ordinary private park (Pease v. Courtney).Royal Parks.-As to the management of the royal parks s...
