Plaintiff sued the defendant on the theory that its employees, without his knowledge or consent, in June, 1939, went into his pasture, consisting of 200 acres of grazing land, and tore down several panels of the four strand, wire fence that was built between his land and a pasture lying south of him, operated by a neighbor named Chamberlain, and having left the line fence down, certain of his livestock escaped through the gap and were lost.
