In Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145 , 25 L.Ed. 244 , Chief Justice Waite used this language, which is apropos: "The reading of the evidence leaves the impression that the juror had some hypothetical opinion about the case, but it falls far short of raising a manifest presumption of partiality.
