Head Matter:
Pope et al. v. The State.

Opinion:
Lumpkin, J.
1. When three persons were indicted for murder, and elected to be tried together, and a panel of forty-eight jurors was put upon them, they were not entitled to have forty-eight jurors for each defendant put upon them before beginning to strike. Lynn v. State, 140 Ga. 387 (79 S. E. 29).
