In each case, if the style of fence mentioned in your notice ie not objected •to, yon may proceed to do the work yourself after 21 days from the service of the notice. You may then recover Ibalf the cost from the neighbour in the Magistrate's Court. Of course, you •will be careful to put the fence on the correct boundary.
