““* * * These facts are sufficient to invoke the following well-established legal principle: If and when it is established that a store has been broken into and entered and that merchandise has been stolen therefrom, the recent possession of such stolen merchandise raises presumptions of fact that the possessor is guilty of the larceny and of the breaking and entering. S. v. Hullen, 133 N.C. 656 , 45 S.E. 513 ; S. v. White, 196 N.C. 1 , 144 S.E. 299 ; S. v. Lambert, 196 N.C. 524 , 146 S.E. 139 ; S. v. Neill, 244 N.C. 252 , 93 S.E. 2d 155 .””
