Upon the appeal from the judgment herein this court is asked to review the decision of the district court, refusing defendant’s application for a new trial on the ground of after-discovered evidence, and also the decision denjdng the motion thereafter made in arrest of judgment. This latter motion was made upon two grounds : First, that it did not affirmatively appear from the record that one of the jurors empanelled to try the cause had ever been sworn; and, second, that it did not appear therefrom that the jury, upon coming into court with their verdict, was in charge of an officer. Upon the point presented by this branch of the case the ruling of this court *291in State v. Ryan, 13 Minn. 370, is decisive. The motion was properly overruled.
The decision of a trial court, upon an application for a retrial because of after-discovered evidence, generally involves an exercise of judicial discretion upon a full consideration of all the evidence given on the trial, and the legitimate effect which the new evidence, taken in connection therewith, ought, upon legal principles, to have towards producing a different result. Hence, when the application has been refused, an appellate court can only review the decision upon a record which affirmatively and substantially discloses all the material testimony which was submitted to the jury, as well as the newly-discovered evidence which it is proposed to introduce upon a retrial. In no other way can the exact character and legal effect of such new testimony be determined. Hilliard on New Trials, c. 15, §§ 31, 36 ; Anon. 7 Wend. 331.
In the record before us the bill of exceptions does not purport to contain all the evidence given to the jury, but only the substance of so much of it as was deemed essential to a proper consideration of the rulings made by the court during the trial to which defendant excepted. For aught apparent upon this record, the conclusions reached by the trial court as to the nature and legitimate effect of the new evidence may have been fully justified by the testimony submitted to the jury upon the trial. Such is the presumption in the absence of a contrary showing.
Order and judgment affirmed.
