1Opinion of the Court

Opinion

Per Curiam,

We agree that the judgment of sentence should be affirmed, because in our view none of appellant’s assignments of error justifies granting a new trial.

Of the four presently-claimed grounds for reversal, no objections were made in the trial court to three. It is well settled that issues not raised at trial will not be considered for the first time on appeal. Commonwealth v. Yount, 455 Pa. 303, 318, 314 A.2d 242, 250 (1974); Commonwealth v. Watlington, 452 Pa. 524, 306 A.2d *467892 (1973); Commonwealth v. Agie, 449 Pa. 187, 296 A.2d 741 (1972); Pa. R. Crim. P. 1119(b).
