of houses or for the use of lands. Those of the first kind are called
urban servitudes, whether the buildings to which they are due be
situated in the city or in the country. Those of the second kind are
called rural servitudes.

support; that of drip; that of drain, or of preventing the drain, that
of view or of lights, or of preventing the view or lights from being
obstructed: that of raising buildings or walls, or of preventing them
from being raised that of passage and that of drawing water. Vide 3
