CONT

A profit appurtenant ... is a profit, whether several or in common, which by act of parties, actual or presumed, is annexed to some nearby dominant tenement and runs with it. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 823).

CONT

"Profits à prendre appurtenant" are "against common right": they are rights attached to the ownership of a particular piece of land, not as the necessary consequence of the original tenure, but because of a grant, prescription or other extraneous means. They cannot be severed or enjoyed apart from the dominant tenement, and they pass with the dominant tenement into the hands of each successive owner. (14 Hals., 4th, p. 119)
