  1. “A discussion of two cases in which bailiff misconduct in the presence of juries was held to constitute reversible error is presented in Lambert v. State (1974), 159 Ind. App. 303 , 306 N.E.2d 115 : “Appellant relies on Laine v. State(1972), [154] Ind.Ct.App. [81], [sic] 289 N.E.2d 141 , in arguing that the bailiff’s alleged conduct constitutes reversible error. However, that case is clearly distinguishable from the instant case. In Laine, the bailiff undertook an explanation of the various verdict forms which had been submitted to the jury. Likewise, in the recent case of Sparks v. State (1972), [154] Ind.Ct.App. [691], [sic] 290 N.E.2d 793 , the bailiff advised the jury as to the meaning of the term ‘disfranchisement.’ In each of these cases, the bailiff became actively engaged in matters relevant to the jury’s deliberations.” 306 N.E.2d at 118 .”
