Appellants’ contention is that the allegations sought to be stricken out, when taken in connection with other parts of the petition, show facts constituting a nuisance, for which a remedy is afforded by sections 4092 and 409B of the Code, and that the action is improperly joined with an action in equity to reform the deed. In other words, they claim that the remedy of an injunction to restrain the obstruction of a. highway cannot be had in an equitable action to correct the conveyance, because the acts sought to be enjoined may constitute a nuisance within the provisions of the criminal law. This court has repeatedly decided that the remedy by injunction exists, even though one may have an action at law to enjoin or abate a nuisance. Bushnell v. Robeson, 62
