HAWKINS, Judge.

Appellant was convicted for rape upon a female under fifteen years of age. ‍​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‍Punishment was assessed at ten years in the penitentiary.

The record contains no bills of exception,’ and no statement of facts ppon the main trial. It is alleged in ‍​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‍the motion for a new trial that one of the jurors discussed appellant’s failure to testify. This one juror only was called to testify upon hearing of ‍​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‍the motion. No bill of exceptions is reserved to the action of the court in overruling same. This is necessary to obtain a review of the question ‍​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‍in this court. (Branch’s Ann. P. C., Sec. 572). However the statement of facts in the record upon the issue of misconduct of the jury fails to support ‍​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‍the averments in the motion.

Finding no error in the record the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
