Opinion
55992.
SUBMITTED MAY 22, 1978.
DECIDED SEPTEMBER 7, 1978.
Forgery. Spalding Superior Court. Before Judge Whalen.
Thomas G. Smith, for appellant.
Johnnie L. Caldwell, Jr., District Attorney, Paschal A. English, Jr., J. David Fowler, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.
The sole enumeration of error in this appeal is that the trial court erred by admitting highly prejudicial hearsay testimony to explain conduct without instructing the jury to disregard such testimony for all other purposes.
Unfortunately for appellant, the record shows that no request was made for such instructions. "It is well recognized that when evidence is admitted for one purpose, as it was in the instant case, it is not error for the court to fail to instruct the jury to limit its consideration to the one purpose for which it is admissible, in the absence of a request to so instruct the jury. [Cits.]" Harrell v. State, 241 Ga. 181, 186 ( 243 S.E.2d 890). See also Stephens v. State, 144 Ga. App. 779 (2B) ( 242 S.E.2d 371); Cochran v. State, 144 Ga. App. 820 (2) ( 242 S.E.2d 735).
Accordingly, the judgment is not subject to reversal for the reason assigned.
Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
