[1] The Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, in Hardley v. State (Sup.) 79 South. 369; 1 Bryant v. State, 13 Ala. App. 206, 68 South. 704; Roberson v. State, 123 Ala. 55, 26 South. 645; Wilkinson v. State, 106 Ala. 23, 17 South. 458; Wright v. State, 103 Ala. 95, 15 South. 506; Gray v. State, 55 Ala. 86; Driggers v. State, 123 Ala. 46, 26 South. 512; and Sudduth v. State, 124 Ala. 32, 27 South. 487 — have gone to the extreme limit in upholding judgments of conviction of trial courts where, on account of carelessness or ignorance, the formal allegations have been omitted, and in Sudduth v. State, 124 Ala. at page 37, 27 South, at page 489, it is said:

“It would seem to be sufficient for the record to show by fair inference affirmatively that the prisoner and his counsel were present; and that, even where the record fails to show their presence at time of sentence only, the judgment will not be reversed, but the sentence will bo set aside and the prisoner remanded for sentence anew.” Young v. State, 39 Ala. 357.

The foregoing wag announced in recognition of the rule that in all felonies the record must affirmatively show that the defendant was present at t'he trial, verdict, and sentence. Sylvester v. State, 71 Ala. 17; Nolan v. State, 55 Ga. 521, 21 Am. Rep. 281; 2 Wharfon’s Crim. Law, par. 1485.

In the instant case, as in the Sudduth Case, supra,- the trial, verdict, judgment, and sentence were severally had, returned, rendered, and imposed on the same day, to- wit, December 7, 1917. Erorn this, by fair inference, it affirmatively appears that there was a continuity of the proceedings, and, it having been affirmatively stated that the defendant was present in his own proper person and by attorney, his continued presence will he presumed.

[2] But the judgment fails to show that the defendant was asked by the court if he had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be pronounced. ¿Being a conviction for a felony, this was error. Bryant v. State, 13 Ala. App. 206, 68 South. 704. And for this error the sentence must be set aside. It appearing affirmatively, however, that the defendant was present at the time the verdict was returned, under the authority of Roberson v. State, 123 Ala. 55, 26 South. 645, and authorities there cited, the judgment of conviction will be affirmed and the cause will be remanded for proper sentence.

[3, 4] The exceptions to the court’s rulings on the admission of evidence are without merit. In a prosecution for burglary it is competent to prove what goods or merchandise were in the warehouse burglarized, their 'description and value, and it is never error for the court to refuse to permit a witness to testify to a conclusion.

In conformity with the above, the judgment of conviction is affirmed, and the cause re" manded for proper sentence.

Affirmed in part, and reversed in part.
