1. "A new trial will not be granted in a criminal ease because of the relationship within the prohibited degrees of a juror to the accused, although such relationship was unknown to the accused and his counsel until after verdict." Downing v. State, 114 Ga. 30 (1) (39 S. E. 927); Barnes v. State, 17 Ga. App. 266 (2) (86 S. E. 461).
