Similar ideas are subinfeudation and subcontract. ⁕Mesne process was such process as intervened between the beginning and end of a suit. ⁕Mesne profits are profits derived from land while in wrongful possession, and may be claimed in damages for trespass, either in a separate action or joined with an action for the recovery of the land. The plaintiff must prove that he has re-entered into possession, his title during the period for which he claims, the fact that the defendant has been in possession during that period, and the amount of the mesne profits.
