1Opinion of the Court

WATHEN, Justice.

The defendant, Herbert Wentworth, Jr., appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (Hancock County), entered in accordance with a jury verdict finding him guilty of burglary, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 401(C) (1983), and theft, 17-A M.R.S.A. §§ 353, 362(2) (1983). Defendant sets forth twenty-two separate arguments claiming error relating to search, seizure, arrest, statements, trial and verdict. We conclude that defendant’s conviction does not result from harmful error and therefore we deny the appeal.
