The opinion
ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
I join in the opinion of the majority, but do not wish to suggest, as does footnote 1, that only “the interest of judicial economy” allows us to decide this appeal.
This Court has jurisdiction to hear this appeal pursuant to the Appellate Court Jurisdiction Act, Act of July 31, 1970, P.L. 673, art. V, § 503(a), 17 P.S. § 211.503(a) (Supp.1977), and Pa.R.A.P. 741(a) which provides for perfection of jurisdiction where, as here, the appellee fails to object to this Court’s jurisdiction. See Commonwealth v. Scott, 469 Pa. *511 258 , 365 A.2d 140 (1976); Woods v. Dunlop, 461 Pa. 35 , 334 A.2d 619 (1975).
