Excerpt from The Michigan University Magazine, Vol. 1: June, 1867
Another illustration will better set forth the nature of the property which we are considering. A certain community has considerable quantities of ground which is common. It is understood that all the cattle owned in the community may graze upon it, and that each person may mow what he chooses, the labor only being his own; that he may sell his hay and his beef, and sell them even to persons who had just as much right in the common upon which the beef was fed and the grass cut as he whose labor made them his own.
