MISHNAH: And so an olive press built into a rock with a vegetable garden on its top: If it caved in, the garden’s owner may sow on the bottom until he build cupolas on his olive press. If a wall or a tree fell into the public domain and caused damage, he is not liable to pay. If he was given an order to tear down the wall or cut down the tree; within the term he is not liable, after the term he is liable.

HALAKHAH: “And so an olive press,” until “if a wall or a tree,” etc. Rebbi Eleazar said: It happened that a vine was growing on another person’s peach tree, and the peach tree withered. The case came before the great Rebbi Ḥiyya who told him, go and provide him with a peach tree. Rebbi Joḥanan told him: Is this not a Mishnah? “And so an olive press built into a rock and another’s vegetable garden is on its top”? Do we not understand that one does not force? But Rebbi Ḥiyya stated that one forces! We may say that they did not disagree. He who says that one forces, if he is there. But he who says that one does not force, if he is absent.

“If he was given an order to cut down.” What is the time limit? Rebbi Hoshaia said, 30 days.
