A quick definition of continuando:

Term: continuando

Definition: Continuando means that someone has done something wrong to someone else's property and it keeps happening. For example, if someone's cows keep eating another person's grass, the person who owns the grass can say that the cows are doing it "by continuing" and they don't have to sue the cow owner every time it happens. This is called "laying the action with a continuando." It's an old legal term that means the same thing as "by continuing."

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Continuando
Definition: Continuando is a legal term that means "by continuing". It is used to describe a situation where a wrongful act or trespass against someone's property is ongoing or continuous. For example, if someone's cattle keep spoiling or consuming another person's herbage, the injured party can use the term continuando to allege that the injury is ongoing and has been committed from one day to another. This means that the plaintiff does not have to bring separate legal actions for each day's separate offense. The term is often used in legal cases involving property disputes.
Example: John owns a farm and has a herd of cows. His cows keep wandering into Mary's farm and spoiling her crops. Mary can use the term continuando to allege that John's cows have been continuously trespassing on her property and causing damage. This means that Mary can bring one legal action against John instead of multiple actions for each day's separate offense.
