* GROSS. 301 GROSSETESTE. piirtenant. The terai is most commonly eiii- plo}-ed in connection with the class of rights known as incorporeal hereditaments, as easements and profits ft. prendre in the lands of another. Thus a right to take ice from a neighbor's pond to supply the domestic uses of the taker is a profit appurtenant to the premises of the latter, whereas a right to take ice «</ libil urn' for any purpose is a |)ro(it in gross. Such a profit is a true real property riglit, which may be aequired by grant (q.v.) or prescription (q.v.), and which, wlien once gained, maj' be alienated or trans- mitted, like other real property, to the heir of the owner. Corresponding rights in the nature of easements, sometimes called easements in gross, are, however, not property rights, but mere licenses. See Appurtenance; Ea.semem'; Profit a Prendre.
