good faith believes himself to have a lawful right to obstruct, is not an offence
within the meaning of this section.
Illustration

faith that he has a right to stop the path. Z is thereby prevented from passing. A

that person form proceeding beyond certain circumscribing limits, is said
"wrongfully to confine" that person.

(b) A places men with firearms at the outlets of a building, and tells Z that they
will fire at Z if Z attempts to leave the building. A wrongfully confines Z.
