Upon his plea of guilty to the offense of hog theft, appellant was convicted and his punishment assessed at confinement in the State penitentiary for a term of two years.
No statement of the facts adduced upon the trial of this case nor bills of exception accompany this record.
By motion for a new trial, appellant attempts to raise the question of jury misconduct. The motion relied upon is not verified by either appellant or his counsel. Such a motion is fatally defective.

R. 150; and other cases collated under Note 11 of Art. 756, Vernon’s Annotated Code of Criminal Procedure.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
- The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
