Acute angles in fencing

Sometimes it happens, from the intermixture of property, or other causes, that the fence is obliged to make a very acute angle; this may occasionally be remedied by another line of fence fitting to its greatest projection; and as this same principle may be extended to roads, walks, or rivers, I shall explain it. The sharp elbow or projection of the fence [fig. 71] A, ceases to be offensive if another fence can be joined to it, as at B, and the same with the line of road or walk; the branch obviates the defect.
