APPROVEMENTUM, Approvementum, or Approvement, is sometimes used in ancient Writers for Improvement. See IMPROVEMENT. Thus, to Approve, approbare, is to make the best benefit of a thing by increasing the Rent, etc. In some ancient Statutes, Bailiffs of Lords in their Franchises are called their Approvers. See BAIL, Cum omnibus Approviamentis & aliis pertinentiis suis, etc., Mon. Angl.; Approvement, is more particularly used where a Man hath common in the Lord’s Wastes, and the Lord encloses part of his Waste for himself; leaving sufficient Common, with Egress and Regress, for the Commoner.
