    The convictions were upheld because the documentary evidence (significant discrepancies between Exh P17 and Exh P18) together with witness identification of the appellant's signatures and the absence of any explanation from the appellant established beyond reasonable doubt that he falsified records and dishonestly appropriated the understated receipts; acquittals on other charges were proper where the evidence implicated another supervisor (PW15) and created reasonable doubt.
