    Shirley v. The State.
    October 18, 1916.
   Hill, J.

1. There was no abuse of discretion in overruling the ground of the motion for a new trial which was based on newly discovered evidence.

2. Causes of challenge to a juror propter defectum must be discovered and urged before verdict.” Henderson v. Fox, 83 Ga. 233 (7), 245 (9 S. E. 839); Brown v. State, 105 Ga. 640 (31 S. E. 557). Accordingly it is too late, after verdict, to except to the service of a juror on the ground that he was under twenty-one years of age at the time of the verdict.

3. The verdict is supported by the evidence.

4. The other grounds of the motion for a new trial are without merit.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
