ADMENSURATIO, in law, a writ which lies for the bringing those to reason, or mediocrity, who usurp more of anything than their share. This writ lies in two cases; termed,

ADMESUREMENT of Dower, Admensuratio dotis, where the widow of the deceased holds more from the heir, or his guardian, on account of her dower, than of right belongs to her. And,

ADMESUREMENT of Pasture, Admensuratio pasturae; this lies between those who have common of pastures appendant to their freehold, or common by vicinage, in case any of them surcharge the common with more cattle than they ought.
