Heading: The Alleged Prejudicial Evidence

Text: The police sergeant testified that with respect to three of the cryptic notations on the currency introduced into evidence, he did not have the knowledge to decode them. He accordingly consulted a known bookmaker who had theretofore given information to the police. This individual informed him that these recordings indicated the placing of reverse bets, illegal at all race tracks. Appellant objected to this testimony, and the trial judge ordered it struck and instructed the jury to disregard it. Irrespective of the correctness of this ruling, it is apparent that the error, if error there was, falls within the embrace of Superior Court Rule 52(a), Del.C.Ann., to the effect that harmless error in a trial shall be disregarded. The judgment below is affirmed.
