Continuando

Lat. (By continning.) In old pleading. A word formerly used in a special declaration of trespass, where the plaintiff would recover damages for several trespasses in the same action. Termes de la ley. Thus, in trespasses of a permanent nature, where the mjury was continually renewed, (as by spoiling or consuming the herbage with the defendant's cattle,) the declaration might allege the injury to have been committed by continuation from one given day to another, (which was called laying the aetion with a coniinuando,) instead of compelling the plaintiff to bring separate actions for every day's separate offence.

S Bl. Com, 212. 1 Ld. Raym. 240, 824.

The form of words was this: continuando iransyressionem prcedictam, dkc, a prcsdicto die, dtc. usque talem diem; (by continuing the aforesaid trespass, (fee, from the day aforesaid, <fec. to such a day;) and so including the last trespass.

Termes de la ley

It has now, however, become obsolete.
