[
1913 Webster ]
{
Time immemorial } (
Eng .
Law .),
a time antedating (
legal )
history ,
and beyond "
legal memory "
so called ;
formerly an indefinite time ,
but in 1276 this time was fixed by statute as the begining of the reign of Richard I . (
1189 ).
Proof of unbroken possession or use of any right since that date made it unnecessary to establish the original grant .
In 1832 the plan of dating legal memory from a fixed time was abandoned and the principle substituted that rights which had been enjoyed for full twenty years (
or as against the crown thirty years )
should not be liable to impeachment merely by proving that they had not been enjoyed before .
