THE COURT
Along with Ms petition for a rehearing, appellant moved the court to appoint counsel “to represent him in the instant proceeding because appellant is without *442funds with which to retain counsel for said purpose.” In compliance with such request, the court appointed Attorney Edward J. Shelly, Esquire, to act on behalf of appellant.
The claims of “perjured testimony before the jury” and “mistaken identity” are not errors. They involve the determination of facts which, absent error in the admission of evidence, is within the exclusive province of the jury. The complaint that he was compelled to answer a question on cross-examination not related to his testimony given on direct is not borne out by the record.
Appellant’s contention that in view of the evidence as to his alibi it was prejudicial error for the court “to refuse to give a requested instruction as to weighing alibi evidence” is not well taken. Attorney Shelly agrees that all requested instructions were read to the jury.
