Court dismissed appeal against conviction for theft, ruling evidence of stolen goods was sufficient and procedural errors were minor.

The court rejected these claims, finding that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to establish guilt and that any procedural irregularities did not affect the fairness of the proceedings.
