is an inheritance belonging to another inheritance. Land cannot be appendant to land; Co. Litt. 121; 4 Co. 86; an incorporeal hereditament may be appendant to land, as a right of way. Appendant differs from appurtenance in this, that the former always arise from prescription, whereas an appurtenance may be created at any time.
