Syllabus

<p>1. New trial should not be granted for the incompetency of one of the jurors by whom the case was tried, when it is not shown that the incompetency was not known when the juror was accepted or that it could have been known by proper inquiry.</p> <p>2. Circumstantial evidence.—It seems that in criminal cases the amere union of a limited number of independent circumstances, each of which is of an imperfect and inconclusive nature-, cannot afford a just ground of conviction.</p> <p>3. Same.—See facts held insufficient to sustain a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to murder.</p>
