Note 164 — Book VI.
John Beames translation
Questus, more properly, says Spelman, quæstus from quæro, purchased Lands, contradistinguished to Lands acquired by inheritance. (Vide Spelm. Gloss. ad voc. and Co. Litt. 18. a.) Purchased Lands were designated under the feudal Law by the feudum novum. (Craig Jus feud. L. 1. Dieg. 10. s. 13.)
