Theft by taking. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alverson.

J. Douglas Willix, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, H. Allen Moye, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

QUILLIAN, Judge.

This appeal was taken from the defendant's conviction for theft of a motor vehicle. See Criminal Code of Georgia, § 26-1813 (Code Ann. § 26-1813; Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1249, 1295; 1969, pp. 857, 861).

The defendant's contention that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdict is without merit. From a careful review of the transcript, we find that the evidence, although conflicting, amply supported the finding of guilt.

Judgment affirmed. Pannell, P. J., and Clark, J., concur.
