438.     2.    Bights  accessory   to  dominion.     The   owner   of  RigbtaAccciu
land    usually  has  certain   rights    in    adjacent   or   neighboring     minion,
land,  for  example  a  right  to  have   his  land    supported  by  it,
or  rights   as    to    the   flow  of   water  from  or  to  it   or   to   the
access  of  light  and  air  over  it  to  his  own  land.     These  rights
are  not  rights    in   his    own    land,  because  their  subject  is  the
adjacent    land   or   the    water;    but    they  are  accessory  to   his
property  right   and   burdens    upon    the   property  right  in  the.
adjacent  land*
