Close Definition
An interest in the soil (Doctoj & Stud. 30; 6 East, 154; 7 East, 207; 1 Burrov/s, 133), or in trees or growing crops (4 Mass. 266; 9 Johns. [N. Y.] 113). An inclosed tract of land. 3 Bl. Comm. 209. In every case where one has a right to exclude another from his land, the law encircles it, if not actually inclosed, with an imaginary fence, and entitles him to a compensation in damages for the injury he sustains by the act of another passing through his boundary, denominating such land a “close.” Hammond, N. P. 151; Doctor & Stud. dial. 1, c. 8, p. 30; 2 Whart. (Pa.) 430.
