WEBB, Presiding Judge.
The question before us is whether Robson, who trespassed on plaintiff Bryan's property while clearing defendant Pippin's land, was an independent contractor on the one hand, or a servant of Pippin on the other so as to render the latter liable for the trespass. We hold that the evidence demands a finding that he was an independent contractor, and consequently we reverse the denial of Pippin's motion for directed verdict on this issue.
