On Motion For Rehearing.
We have carefully reviewed and considered appellant’s motion for rehearing, as we do on every *678motion. Two cases cited by counsel, Eschen v. Roney, 127 Ga. App. 719 (194 SE2d 589) (1972) and Ramsey v. Thomas, 133 Ga. App. 869 (212 SE2d 444) (1975), although meriting the commendations received, have no relevancy to this motion. Perhaps more applicable are Chambers v. State, 134 Ga. App. 53, 56 (213 SE2d 158) (1975) and Williams v. State, 126 Ga. App. 350 (190 SE2d 785 (1972) footnote 1.
Counsel for Redwing stated in their brief that "Thursday morning at the courthouse, Clay told [Redwing’s] counsel of Whetstone’s name.” Counsel now contends that Whetstone’s existence was not known until after the trial, and that for this reason his affidavit was properly filed in conjunction with the motion for new trial on a "newly discovered” basis. It is thus urged that we should consider it in connection with Division 9 of the opinion, while at the same time ignoring the counter-affidavits filed on plaintiffs behalf.
It is clear from the record that Whetstone, also called Woodhouse and Woodstone, was known to Redwing’s counsel when he was attempting to put Clay on the stand that Thursday morning, and that all parties became apprised of his existence from Clay’s proffered testimony. Thus Whetstone’s affidavit never became a part of the record and cannot be considered by this court. Johnson v. Cleveland, 131 Ga. App. 560, 561 (1) (206 SE2d 704) (1974).
We deny the motion for rehearing and adhere to the judgment.

Motion for rehearing denied.
