OPINION

RAGAN, C.

Charles C. Stevens files here a petition in error for the review of a judgment pronounced against him by the district court of Sheridan county on an information charging him with stealing cattle. Stevens complains that the verdict of the jury is not sustained by sufficient evidence; that the court erred in rejecting certain testimony offered by him; in not granting him a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence; and because one of the jurors was disqualified, because he admitted on his voir dire examination that he had an opinion as to the merits of the case which it would require evidence to remove. We have patiently and carefully studied and examined this record, and not one of the contentions made by the plaintiff in error can be sustained. The record presents not one proposition of law which is novel and which has not been time and again decided by this court, and it would subserve no useful purpose whatsoever to write an opinion specifically stating the contentions of the plaintiff in error and our reasons for overruling them. The judgment of the district court is right and is

AFFIRMED.
