1. The appellant was convicted, after a trial, of theft and common assault and appeals against these convictions. I would say at the outset that Mr. Corrigan, for the Crown, did not seek to uphold the convictions and the appellant had the benefit, upon the appeal, of having counsel on both sides arguing urgently and cogently for him.
