CROCKETT, Justice

¶1(concurring) :

¶2I thing there is merit to the defendants’ contention that the mere failure to do anything about a fence dividing properties over a long period of years constitutes acquiescence ; and that this can be true without any showing of actual knowledge or intent. Nevertheless, in this case there is a reasonable basis in the evidence to support the view taken by the trial court that this fence was never established or intended as a boundary; and that this is sufficient to overcome the presumption that would normally arise from the existence of a fence between adjoining properties for so long a period of years.
