Celuien has just left Hobbiton.
If A was aware of B's actions, that puts a slightly different slant on the matter. A is then guilty of implictly giving permission, then attempting to steal free labor.

But still, I don't like B's actions. Who knows? Maybe the land had been overworked by high nutrient demanding crops and A thought it needed more than a year to lie fallow. Maybe A planned to build something there. Or maybe A was just lazy. The point is that B needed to check before taking any action, both with A and with Eodwine. The worst A has done is been neglectful of the land, which would deserve a lecture from Eodwine. B has attempted squatting, and so theft, which I find worse.
