Appellant was convicted of burglary and his punishment assessed at five years confinement in the State penitentiary.
There is but one question presented for review. It appears that when the jury list was furnished appellant's attorney the name of A.B. Ahr was erased. However, through some mistake Mr. Ahr served on the jury, and this fact was not discovered until after the verdict was received and the jury discharged. The clerk testifies he called the list of jurors with Mr. Ahr's name thereon. Appellant's counsel not noticing at the time that Mr. Ahr's name was called, he was sworn and empaneled to try the cause. Appellant does not contend that Mr. Ahr was in any manner prejudiced against him, or that he knew anything of the facts in the case. He says he erased the name on the recommendation of a brother attorney, no reason being assigned for giving such recommendation. In fact, it appears that the juror was fully qualified to try the cause. In the absence of a showing that the juror *Page 331 
entertained animus or prejudice, this objection comes too late after verdict. Munson v. State, 34 Tex.Crim. Rep.; Cooper v. State, 65 Tex.Crim. Rep., 144 S.W. Rep., 937.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
