ne injuste vexes

n. [Law Latin "do not trouble unjustly"] Hist. A writ prohibiting a lord from demanding more services from a tenant than the tenure allowed. "The writ of ne injuste vexes ... which prohibits distresses for greater services than are really due to the lord; being itself of the prohibitory kind, and yet in the nature of a writ of right. It lies, where the tenant in feesimple and his ancestors have held of the lord by certain services; and the lord hath obtained seisin of more or greater services, by the inadvertent payment or performance of them by the tenant himself. Here the tenant cannot ... avoid the lord's possessory right, because of the seisin given by his own hands; but is driven to this writ, to devest the lord's possession, and establish the mere right of property, by ascertaining the services, and reducing them to their proper standard." 3 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 234 (1'ls$).
