Judgement
<p> KINGDON, C.J., NIGERIA, PETRIDES, C.J., GOLD COAST, AND WEBBER, C.J., SIERRA LEONE.</p><p>In this case appellant went into a railway station compound, in which there was a platform, in order to take food to his master, an employee of the railway. But he passed in by a route at the entrance to which there was a notice saying “No thoroughfare.” The moment he set foot upon that entrance route he became a trespasser. Having entered, he was told by a police constable, acting under general instructions of the General Manager, to go. He refused. He was still a trespasser. For these reasons we agree with the decision of the learned Judge of the Supreme Court, and the appeal is dismissed.</p>
