Definition (1910 Edition)
443. Discontinuous, non-continuous, or non-apparent easements are those the enjoyment of which can be had only by the interference of man, as, a right of way or a right to draw water. Outerbridge v. Phelps, 45 N. Y. Super. Ct. 570: Lampman v. Milks, 21 N. Y. 515. This distinction is derived from the French law. Easements are also classed as private or public, the former being an easement the enjoyment of which is restricted to one or a few individuals, while a public easement is one the right to the enjoyment of which is vested in the public generally or in an entire community; such as an easement of passage on the public streets and highhee be or of navigation on a stream. Kennelly v. ered City. 57 N. J. Law, 298, 30 Atl. 531, 26 L. R. A. 281; Nicoll v. Telephone Co., 62
