An injury or misfeasance to person or property, made “with force and arms ” [force actual or implied in law], a breach of the King’s peace. 3. An unlawful entry on land of another. 4. The action at law for any of these trespasses. This is either, A. vi et armis, brought for trespasses 2 and 3, the old action on a writ de cursu, issued by the clerks in Chancery according to established form, depending in the King’s courts on a Action of a breach of the King’s peace, or contempt of royal authority (see NISI PECERIS; CONTRA PACEM), whereby the King’s courts anciently obtained jurisdiction, and consequently covering most cases of direct or intentional wrong; or, B. on the case, super casum, the action on special writs, adapted to special cases (in casu consimili) by the clerks in Chancery under authority of the Statute of Westminster II.; and covering most cases of contract, or indirect or unintentional wrong, negligence, etc. Class A. is usually called trespass as distinct from B.; case.
