A certiorari was granted in this case to review the refusal to quash the indictment on the ground of the disqualification of one of the.grand jurors; but, it appearing that the disqualified juror did not participate in the finding of the indictment, and the sole question being as to the indictment being invalid because found by a grand jury, which as the result of one of its members having been discharged, as disqualified, was composed of less than 12, the ruling complained of is approved.
