Black's Law Dictionary

An old form of the word "pleas." Thus the "Court of Common Pleas" was sometimes called the "Court of Common Place." This word is a very indefinite term. It is applied to any locality, limited by boundaries, however large or however small. It may be used to designate a country, state, connty, town or a very small portion of a town. The extent of the locality designated by it must generally be determined by the connection in which it is used.
