TREE , Pyrus domestica, a native of the Mediterranean region, not infrequently planted in See also:southern See also:Europe for its See also:fruit. It has been regarded as a native of See also:England on the See also:evidence of a single specimen, which has probably been planted, now existing in the See also:forest of Wyre. Though not much cultivated its fruit is esteemed by some persons, and therefore two or three trees may very well be provided with a See also:place in the See also:orchard, or in a sheltered corner of the See also:lawn. The tree is seldom productive till it has arrived at a goodly See also:size and See also:age. The fruit has a See also:peculiar See also:acid flavour, and, like the See also:medlar, is See also:fit for use only when thoroughly mellowed by being kept till it has become bletted. There is a See also:pear-shaped variety, pyriformis, and also an See also:apple-shaped variety, maliformis, both of which may be propagated by layers, and still better by grafting on seedling See also:plants of their own See also:kind. The fruit is sometimes brought to See also:market in See also:winter. The service is nearly allied to the See also:mountain ash, Pyrus Aucuparia, which it resembles in having regularly See also:primate leaves. P. torminalis is the See also:wild service, a small tree occurring locally in See also:woods and hedges from See also:Lancashire southwards; the fruit is sold in See also:country markets. These, with other See also:species, including P. See also:Aria, See also:white See also:beam, so-called from the leaves which are white and flocculent beneath, See also:form the subgenus Sorbus, which -was regarded by See also:Linnaeus as a distinct genus. right of using and enjoying the fruits of See also:property; and (c) and (d) operas servorum sive animalium.

Praedial servitudes were either (a) rustic, such as See also:

jus eundi, the right of walking or See also:riding along the footpath of another; See also:aquae ductus, the right of passage for See also:water; pascendi, the right of pasture, &c ; or (b) See also:urban. Urban servitudes were of various kinds, as oneris ferendi, the right of using the See also:wall of another to support a See also:man's own wall; projiciendi, the right of See also:building a structure, such as a See also:balcony or See also:verandah, so as to project over another's See also:land; stillicidii, fumy immittendi and several others. Servitudes were created by a disposition inter vivos, or by See also:contract; by testamentary disposition; by the See also:conveyance of land or by See also:prescription. They might be extinguished by destruction of either, the res serviens or the res dominans; by See also:release of the right, or by the vesting of the ownership of the res serviens and res dominans in the same See also:person. In See also:English See also:law there may be certain limited rights over the land of another, corresponding somewhat to servitudes, and termed easements (q.v.). In Scots law the See also:term is still in use (see EAsEMExt).
