The Court of Appeal dismissed the defense's appeal against a first-instance conviction for trespassing under Article 157 of the Penal Code. The defendant failed to leave a leased field after the landlord issued a written demand, despite having no legal right to remain once the lease expired. The court held that the combination of lacking a legal title and ignoring the owner's demand satisfied all elements of the offense, making the appeal without merit.
