Defendant was indicted for theft by taking. The property allegedly taken was seven men’s shirts of the value of $153. The jury found the defendant guilty as charged, and he was sentenced by the trial court to serve a term of years in confinement. After his motion for new trial was denied, defendant appeals. Held:
1. Defendant contends that he was denied a fair and impartial trial due to the misconduct of various jurors. Defendant’s counsel has submitted in his brief the affidavits of two of the jurors. One of these affidavits states that the juror referred to materials in the law library in an attempt to resolve the question of value. The other affidavit shows that another juror read and considered as evidence the indictment in an attempt to resolve this question.
Although defense counsel states in his brief that these affidavits were presented to the trial court on the hearing for motion for new trial they are not present in the record before this court. Nor is there any other evidence in the record to support this contention. This court cannot consider factual representations in the appellant’s brief which do not appear in the record.
