Profit á prendre

(1) No claim which may be lawfully made at the common law by custom, prescription or grant, to any profit or benefit to be taken and enjoyed from or upon any land of Her Majesty, any ecclesiastical or lay person or anybody corporate, except such matters and things as are herein specially provided for, and rent and services, shall, where such profit or benefit has been actually taken and enjoyed by any person claiming right thereto, without interruption for the full period of thirty years, be defeated or destroyed, by showing only that such profit or benefit was first taken or enjoyed at any time prior to such period of thirty years, but, nevertheless, such claim may be defeated in any other way by which it is now liable to be defeated. (2) When such profit or benefit has been so taken and enjoyed as aforesaid for the full period of sixty years, the right thereto shall be deemed absolute and indefeasible, unless it appears that it was taken and enjoyed by some consent or agreement expressly made or given for that purpose by deed or writing.
