Kelly, Justice
(dissenting).
I concur in the court’s opinion that Minn. St. 561.04 is not applicable in the instant case. However, I would dissent on the instructions to the lower court upon remand.
This is obviously an aggravated case of willful trespass and under our modern and liberalized view of pleadings, the court below in its discretion should be permitted to award on the remand such exemplary or punitive damages as may be appropriate and add the same, if any, to the general judgment of $1,250, plus the $10 per day from the date of trial to the date of abatement, together with interest and costs.
