The Court held that the judge's Reasons for Verdict sufficiently justified acceptance of the prosecution evidence and inferences; the refusal of an adjournment for transcripts was proper; amendments to charges 2,4 and 5 did not prejudice the applicant but were improperly worded and must be substituted by charges alleging theft of 'property belonging to another'; convictions on the remaining counts stand and substitution under s83A and s83 is appropriate.
