Concurring Opinion by
Jacobs, J.:
In Commonwealth v. Justice, 230 Pa. Superior Ct. 537, 326 A.2d 564 (1974), we noted that the Act of March 31, I8601 specifically provides for the joining of counts of larceny and receiving stolen property in a single indictment. Where such an indictment is utilized, however, the *331counts merge if identical property is the subject of both offenses; and although a defendant may be found guilty of both offenses, he may only be sentenced on one. Commonwealth v. Phillips, 215 Pa. Superior Ct. 5, 257 A.2d 81 (1969).
This issue, however, was not raised before this Court and it is, therefore, waived.

. Act of March 31, 1860, P.L. 427, §24; 19 P.S. §411 (1964).
