The conviction stands because the series of takings by the first appellant constituted one continuous transaction that made the single theft count not duplicitous; alternatively a general deficiency charge was valid for goods where individual takings could not be traced; an alternative verdict of handling was legally available; confessions and corroborating evidence were sufficient and any omission to repeat the exact formula of 'beyond reasonable doubt' did not invalidate the second appellant's conviction.
