OUSTER, torts. An ouster is the actual turning out, or keeping excluded, the
party entitled to possession of any real property corporeal.
2. An ouster can properly be only from real property corporeal, and
cannot be committed of anything movable; 1 Car. & P. 123; S. C. 11 Eng. Com.
Law R. 339; 2 Bouv. 1 Inst. n. 2348; 1 Chit. Pr. 148, note r; nor is a mere
temporary trespass considered as an ouster. Any continuing act of exclusion
from the enjoyment, constitutes an ouster, even by one tenant in common of
his co-tenant. Co. Litt. 199 b, 200 a. Vide 3 Bl; Com. 167; Arch. Civ. Pl.
6, 14; 1 Chit. Pr. 374, where the remedies for an ouster are pointed out.
