while the morning punlight as it comes
over the hill is reflected from his glossy

Moncrief vs. State. Murder, from
Floyd.
WARNER, C. J.
The defendant was indicted for the of
fense of murder, aod on his trial therefor,
was found guilty. A motion was made
by the defendant for a new trial on the
grounds therein stated, which was over
ruled. by the court, and tbe defendant
excepted. The only ground of error con
tained in tbe motion seriously insisted on
here was, that tbe defendant had not
been tried hy an impartial jury, that ooe
of the jurors who tried him, to-wit, James
Davis, was not a competent juror, having
prtiudged the case against him, which
fact was unknown to tbe defendant or
his counsel until after the trial. It ap
pears from the bill of exceptions, that
this ground was added to the original
motions for a new trial by way of an
amendment thereto by an order of the
court. It appears from tbe affidavit of
Duke contained in the bill of exceptions,
that after the case was called for trial
and put off ivr a short time, he heard
James Dh«il%ay “lUat he was an incom
petent juror, that he could not sit in said
case, that be had looked into it, and that
he would be buns without don 1 * at
all” Ther-i >Sler affidavits lu
-^ aoe P Uon, > Nancy and
William Overby, who heard the juror
Davis express his opinion
against the xVhfeuUaui “-fore the trial.
These facts were unknown to Ui„
ant, or his counsel, until after the tnai.
as appears from their respective affi
davits. By^b-vJonsfitutionof the State,
53 pear to the court without any explanation
by the juror or otherwise when the motion
for a new trial was overruled, tbe de
fendant was tried by a jury, one of whom
had declared “that he had looked into
tbe case and that he, the defendant,
would be hung without any doubt at all.”
This showing, as made without any ex
planation, entitled the defendant to a
new trial, as was held by this court in
Ray vs. The State 15th Ga. rep., 223,
and in Brink|qy vs. The State, decided
at January term, 1877, not yet reported.
The rule in such cases is that, when a
juror is shown by evidence to have been
prima facie incompetent to have tried
the defendant as an impartial juror, the
court will allow the juror to be beard in
explanation of the charge made against
him, the court acting as trior to determine
whether the jurtr was competent as well
after as before trial. In the case
• tow before us, the court overruled the
defendant's motion for a new trial, as
appears from the bill of exceptions,
without any explanation from the juror
as to his competency or otherwise,
which, in our judgment, was error. Ii
is true that there is an explanatory af
fidavit of Davis, the juror, in the re
cord sent up by the clerk, but it is not
id the bill of exceptions, and was not.
aud could not, have'Jheen considered
md passed upon by the court in over-
fulint! the defendant’s motion for a
■ tew trial, for the reason that the judg
ment overruling the motion for a new
ri-tl is dated the 10th dav cf March.
'877, and tbe affidavit of Davis in th-
-C'-rd is dated on the J9tb of March.
1877—nine days after the judgment of
ihe court was reudrred upon the-mo-
ion for a new trial, md six days after
lie bill of exceptions was /signed and
certified by the presiding Judge. Al
though the affidavit of tn» juror is in
'he record, it not having been before
the court below when itjt judgment was
rendered, nor mentione i iu the bill of
exceptions as having en before it,
this court cannot consider the affidavit,
as was held in Epps va. Tne State, 19th
Ga. Rep., 103—the court saying in that
case “the circuit court has massed upon
tbe case as it was originally presented,
and we can only review his decision.”
The defendant may, or he may not, be
guilty of the _ offense with which he is
charged, but if he is guilty that is no
reason why the court should be less
careful to see that he is tried and con
victed in accordance with tbe laws of
the State, inasmuch as the penalty is
the loss of life.
Let tbe judgment of the court below
be reversed.

Lam Relating to newspaper Subscriptions
and Arrearages.
We received tho following from a judicial op
leer, who states that it is the dieision of the
United Bute, Sopreme Court:
Subscribers who do not give express notice
to tbs contrary, are considered wishing to con
tinue their snbscriptior.
X. It subscribers order tbs discontinuance of
their perisdieals, the publishers may continue
lo send them until- 1 ' arrearages an paid.
$. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from tbe offlee to whieh they
ere directed, they are held responsible nntil thry
lava settled their bills sad ordered them dis
continued.
4. If subscribers move to other places without
notifying publishers, and tbe papers are seat to
tbe former direction, they are held responsible.
6: The courts have decided that “relating to
take periodicals from the office, or removing sad
leaving them uncalled for is prima facia evi
dence of intentional fraud. 1
S, Any person who receives a newspaper and
ekes nenof it wbsthsr ha hat ordered it or not,
held in law to be a subscriber:
If subscribers pay in advance, they am
bound to give notice to tho publisher, at tba sod
of . teir time; If they do not wish to continue
taking it; otherwise tho publisher is authorised
to send it on, and the snbseribsrs will bo respon
