customary rights

from Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
CUSTOMARY RIGHTS. Rights which are acquired by custom. They differ from 
prescriptive rights in this, that the former are local usages, belonging to 
all the inhabitants of a particular place or district-the latter are 
rights of individuals, independent of the place of their residence. Best on 
Pres. Sec. 79; Cruise, Dig. t. 31, c. 1, Sec. 7; 2 Greenl. Evi 542.
