““In short, the facts fully justified the chancellor in finding that the acts of Edwards under the circumstances were trespasses upon the appellee’s land; that these acts of Edwards were also the acts of the appellant and that the appellant through Edwards committed the trespass upon the appellee’s land. ‘Those who authorize the commission of a trespass are equally responsible as those by whose acts the trespass is committed. ’ State of Maine v. Jesse S. Smith and others, 78 Maine, 260.””
