The court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the first-instance conviction for theft, rejecting the claim that the evidence was insufficient. The prosecution alleged the defendant stole property worth 100 krooni, while the defense argued the items were found in the defendant's possession without proof of intent to steal. The court ruled that the prosecution successfully proved the defendant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thereby validating the original judgment.

Criminal Code § 159; § 160: The court established that a conviction for theft stands when the prosecution proves the defendant took property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner, and the defendant's possession of stolen goods alone is insufficient without corroborating evidence of criminal intent.
