been laid down by the Weights and Measures Law (No. XI. of
1890.) The donum is, however, computed at different sizes by
tbe inhabitants in different parts of the Island, and under the
Interpretation Law (No. X. of 1901) it is reckoned as "1,600
square yards, according to the British Imperial Standard."
