This word is sometimes used in the writ¹ in certain actions, but is inadmissible in a material averment in the pleadings, for it is merely interrogatory and, therefore, when a declaration began with complaining of the defendant², "wherefore with force, &c. he broke and entered" the plaintiff's close, was considered ill. Bac. Ab. Pleas, B 5, 4; Gould on Pl. c. 3, 34.

QUARE CLAUSUM FREGIT. Wherefore he broke the close. In actions of trespass³ to real estate the defendant is charged with breaking the close of the plain-tiff.
