OPINION OF THE COURT
ROBERTS, Justice.
In unrelated proceedings, each appellant was indicted for multiple offenses, including burglary, but not including criminal trespass.1 Each was tried before a court sitting without a jury and each was convicted, inter alia, for the unindicted offense of criminal trespass. Only the convictions for criminal trespass were appealed. The Superior Court upheld each conviction.2 We granted allowances of appeal.3 On October 5, 1978, this Court reversed the judgments of sentence and noted that opinions would follow. This opinion is in accordance with that order.4
