acre right

acre right. Hist. In New England, a citizen’s share in the common lands. • The value of the acre right varied among towns but was fixed in each town. A 10-acre lot in a certain town was equivalent to 113 acres of upland and 12 acres of meadow, and an exact proportion was maintained between the acre right and salable land. [Cases: Common Lands 10. C.J.S. Common Lands §§ 12–13.]
