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,

ADMEASUREMENT 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, ADMEASUREMENT of Pasture, Admensuratio paßu- ræ; this lies between those who have common of pa- stures appendant to their freehold, or common by vicin- age, in case any of them surcharge the common with more cattle than they ought.
