Opinion

56165.

SUBMITTED JUNE 29, 1978.

DECIDED JULY 13, 1978. REHEARING DENIED JULY 31, 1978.

Theft by taking. Gwinnett Superior Court. Before Judge Merritt.

Glyndon C. Pruitt, for appellants.

Bryant Huff, District Attorney, William P. Rowe, III, Malcolm C. McArthur, Dawson Jackson, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.

SMITH, Judge.

Appellants failed to make the showings required by Code § 81-1410, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying their motion for continuance. Davis v. State, 135 Ga. App. 584 (4) ( 218 S.E.2d 297) (1975). The evidence authorized their convictions for theft by taking. Finding appellants' two enumerations of error meritless, we affirm the convictions.

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.
