    There is ample evidence to support these findings. For all of these reasons, appellants' second point is overruled. Eubanks v. Hopkins, Tex.Civ.App., 238 S.W.2d 720, and other authorities there cited. In their points three to seven, both inclusive, appellants charge in effect prejudicial jury misconduct during deliberations.

  2. Liberty Cab Co. v. Green

    262 S.W.2d 522 (Tex. Civ. App. 1953)   Cited 7 times

    As a reviewing court, we are bound by such findings of fact by the trial court, if such findings are supported by sufficient evidence adduced upon such hearing. See Eubank v. Hopkins, Tex.Civ.App., 238 S.W.2d 720. Under his first point the appellant shows that at the time of the examination of the jury panel in the trial court he asked a number of questions addressed to the panel as a whole and later examined each prospective juror individually. He contends that he inguired in particular of the jurors, Tait, Robertson, Carouthers and Knight, whether each of them had had any claims for workmen's compensation benefits and that all four of said jurors had had such claims and had collected and received benefits for workmen's compensation and did not reveal to him on examination that they had had such claims; that if such information so concealed had been given by the prospective jurors to his counsel at the time of examination it would have caused a peremptory challenge to be exercised against them by his attorney.
