Atkinson, J. 1. “Affidavits relating to a ground of a motion for a new trial, which are not referred to therein, nor attached to the motion as exhibits, nor filed with the motion as a part thereof, but each separately filed, can not be considered by this court when transmitted as a part of the record.” Sasser v. State, 129 Ga. 541 (13), (59 S. E. 255).
