OPINION PER CURIAM: Following conviction appellant received concurrent sentences of one and one half to five years on indictments charging statutory rape (No. 1175) and two and one half to eight years on an indictment (No. 1176) charging forcible rape. As both offenses arose out of a single incident, sentence could be imposed on only one conviction. Cf. Commonwealth v. Lockhart, 223 Pa. Super. 60, 296 A.2d 883 (1972).

The record is remanded to the court below for resentence according to law.
