The opinion

Bell, Chief Judge.

Defendant has appealed from his conviction for burglary. The single enumeration of error concerns the admission in evidence of documents showing defendant’s conviction of two prior offenses. At the time this evidence was offered objection was made that the documents were "irrelevant and immaterial.” Nothing more at trial was urged as to why the challenged evidence was inadmissible and harmful. It has been repeatedly held by the Supreme Court and this court that an objection that evidence is irrelevant and immaterial is insufficient to show reversible error.
