2015The reason 47 No. 1-13-0657 for presenting the substance of the earlier statement to the witness is to "avoid unfair surprise and to give the witness an opportunity to explain." Smith, 78 Ill. 2d at 304-05 . ¶ 138 Defendant cites People v. Henry, 47 Ill. 2d 312 (1970), to support his position that, because the minor denied ever having a conversation with his father in front of his uncle, his denial was sufficient to lay the foundation for defense counsel's later introduction of the uncle's impeaching testimony.

1906Again, in Morrison v. King, 62 Ill. 30 , it is held that an easement may be created by the disposition made of premises by the owner of the estate, and that upon a severance of the title the owners will take their respective shares as they existed in the hands of the former owner, and in this connection it is said (p. 35) : “The foundation of the doctrine of easement in this and similar classes of cases is a disposition and arrangement of the premises as to the uses of the different parts, by him having the unity of seizin, and then a severance.

When Mahannah sold to Tade the premises now owned by the appellee, the court arid alley were used not only for access to these premises but to all adjacent premises.

1906It being a general principle in relation to grants that every grant of a thing naturally and necessarily imports a grant of it as it actually exists, unless the contrary is provided for, it would seem to follow that each portion of the severed premises should pass subject to all the burdens and advantages imposed or conferred by the proper owner.” The same language is found in Clarke v.
