Destroying Property Maliciously.

98.

In indictment for wilfully removing post, which had been erected solely for
purpose of asserting a property right which defendants were contesting, the de-
fendants, in effort to prove that removal of post was not a criminal action
within the purview of the statute, were entitled to benefit of proffered testimony
to show that they had acted under advice of counsel in the honest assertion of a
property right which post designedly obstructed. Rosenburg v. State, 164 Md.
