        "text": "Mr. Presiding Justice Wright\ndelivered the opinion of . the court.\nThis action was commenced before a justice of the peace by appellee against appellant for tearing down a fence alleged to be upon land in possession of appellee, and the case was appealed to the Circuit Court, where a jury trial resulted in a verdict and judgment against appellant for $7, and to reverse such judgment appellant brings this appeal, insisting the verdict is against the evidence, and the court improperly ruled upon the evidence, gave wrong instructions and refused proper instructions to the jury.\nThe-parties owned adjoining lands, and in 1870, appellee desiring to put a fence upon the line between them, appellant objected. Appellee then planted a hedge, and, as he claimed, put it on his own land, three feet from the line, where it remained until August, 1901, when he destroyed it, and put in a post and wire fence upon the division line as he claimed it to be, and appellant claiming the land to the hedge line, took up the post and wire fence.\nWe think, in view of all the evidence, it sustains the verdict that was returned, and that appellee was in the possession and control of the land between the old hedge line and the line upon which the post and wire fence was built. The instructions substantially gave the jury the law applicable to the case, and all that was contained in the refused instructions proper to be given was included in those given to the jury by the court.\nThere was no prejudicial error in the court requiring, at the instance of appellee, to find the lawful possession of the premises, for the reason that appellant\u2019s instructions contained the same infirmity, if such it was. Where the party complaining of an instruction has induced the court to give an instruction containing the same vice of which he complains in his adversary\u2019s instruction, such objection will not be held to reverse the judgment. There was no prejudicial error in the rulings upon the evidence.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court will be affirmed.",
