The evidence proved the following facts, and one other: The appellant cultivated for the owner a certain tract of hemp land; delivered to Apolonio Aitona the owner's share of the hemp produced, and retained for himself and the workmen whom he employed the shares corresponding to them.
The latter was at the time the leader of a band of brigands, and there was near the land in question a camp of certain members of this band.
Even assuming that Gamboa was the owner of the land and Aitona his agent, when the appellant delivered the hemp to them he was but delivering to them their own property.
The arms of Aitona (in Segrià) show a rooster (a traditional element derived from the old local seals), the golden bezants of the Montcada family (owners of the Marquesat d'Aitona) and the arms of Catalunya/Aragon.
The rooster is also explained by a legend, according to it, the village was alerted by all roosters singing together of a Muslim attack, and thus the village was saved.
