Appurtenances must be of an inferior nature to the principal (16 Conn. 260), and must not only be appendant in utility, but there must be unity of right to both in the same person (29 Ohio St. 649). Appurtenances are distinguished from appendages in that the latter are those appendant things which become so by prescription, while the latter are those otherwise acquired.
