In Canada, no private person can establish a public highway or a public ferry or railroad or charge tolls for the use of the same without authority from the legislature direct or derived, and the power to invade public rights by the establishment of these public utilities is generally referred to as a "franchise"... A franchise to operate a street railway and to collect tolls is a property right, an incorporeal hereditament. 2, record 1, English, - franchise

A rent charge arises when a periodic sum of money is payable in respect of land to a person who has no reversion in it, the due payment of which is a charge upon the land and is secured by a right of distress given by express agreement between the parties. A rent charge in fee simple is an incorporeal hereditament and is real property as it is an interest in the land itself. The owner of a rent charge, however, has no interest in the land out of which it issues.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 924). 1, record 3, English, - rentcharge%20in%20fee%20simple

Real estate is a technical term and is generally to be construed in its technical sense. It comprises all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments, but not leasehold interests.... "Real estate" includes, also, any rights in land, such as a rentcharge, which admit of being limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. (39 Hals., 4th, p. 214) 1, record 4, English, - real%20property

As the common law developed, real property came to mean that form of property which could be specifically recovered by a real action if possession were lost. Only freeholdings of land were thus recoverable in the realty. (Crossley Vaines, 5th, p. 6) 1, record 4, English, - real%20property
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The terms "real property, ""realty" and "real estate" are quasi-synonyms. "Real property" and "real estate" serve for distinct technical classifications. Originally, the use of the term "property" itself was confined to cases where the right included possession. The term "real property, "as opposed to "personal property, "was used to denote land and things attached to land so as to become part of it, as well as rights in the land which endure for a life. The term "real estate, "as opposed to "personal estate, "comprised all freehold(and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments(except leasehold interests) that a person owned, and also included any rights in land which could be limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. In modern usage, all three terms refer to the same object, comprising corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments. 2, record 4, English, - real%20property

Prescription, in its broadest sense, may be defined as the effect of lapse of time in creating or extinguishing property interests. As appears from this definition, it has two aspects, the one, that of creating, the other, that of extinguishing interests. In the first it operates positively, in the second, negatively. Prescription as defined above extends to both corporeal and incorporeal interests.("Restatement of the Law of Property", p. 2922). 1, record 6, English, - prescription

Conveyances at common law were said to be original or primary when they transferred the property without reference to a previous conveyance, and derivative or secondary when they followed a previous conveyance and took effect with reference to it.

Incorporeal hereditaments are intangibles; they are rights which were regarded as real property rather than personalty because of their close affinity with land, being rights over or in respect of land. Incorporeal hereditaments are capable of being held for an estate or interest in the same way that land may be. The main examples... are easements, "profits à prendre" and rent charges. It has been pointed out that the distinction between corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments is meaningless and confusing in that, in law, a property interest is only a right of ownership which, as a right, is incorporeal, never corporeal, although the object of the right may be either corporeal or incorporeal. However, the distinction is one that remains in common usage....(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 11). 1, record 13, English, - incorporeal%20hereditament

Their distinguishing feature is that the law of real property applies to them, just as it applies to corporeal land.(A) right of entry and a possibility of reverter are probably simply attenuated forms of ownership of corporeal land, not incorporeal hereditaments in themselves.(Megarry & Wade, pp. 787-9) 1, record 16, English, - corporeal%20land
