QUILLIAN, Judge.
The defendant was tried and convicted of theft by taking. An appeal based upon the general grounds was filed and the case is here for review. Held:
Recent possession of stolen goods without a reasonable explanation thereof will authorize a conviction of theft by taking. Voyles v. State, 115 Ga. App. 690 ( 155 S.E.2d 710). In the case sub judice it was a question for the jury whether the appellant's explanation of his possession of the property was satisfactory. Coley v. State, 41 Ga. App. 620 (2) ( 154 S.E. 203); Chubbs v. State, 204 Ga. 762 (1) ( 51 S.E.2d 851).
Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., and Clark, J., concur.
