   “But remember this, it doesn't pay to set yourself against me, because I own both the infield and the turbary in the village, and without my leave, you'll get neither milk nor fuel.”

2. (broadly, countable, uncountable)In full common of turbary: the right to cut peat or turf from peatland on a common or another person's land.

   “Common of piſcary is a liberty of fiſhing in another man's waters; as common of turbary is a liberty of digging turf upon another's ground. […] All theſe bear a reſemblance to common of paſture in many reſpects; thought in one point they go much farther: common of paſture being only a right of feeding on the herbage and veſture of the ſoil, which renews annually; but common of turbary, and the reſt, are a right of carrying away the very ſoil itſelf.”
