The indictment was returned at the November, 1921, term of court. At the succeeding April, 1922, term of court, appellant filed a demurrer to the indictment on the ground that the record failed to show it was filed in the manner prescribed by law, that is, in open court and in the presence of the grand jury of said county. The demurrer was filed on the tenth day of said month and on the same day was overruled by the court, over the objection and exception of appellant. On the succeeding day appellant was tried, convicted, and adjudged to serve a term of one year in the State Penitentiary, from which judgment is this appeal.\nThe only assignment of error, based upon the record in \u00a1the case is that the indictment failed to show that it was filed in open court, in the presence of the grand jury, during the session of said court. The defect complained of could not be reached by demurrer. The proper remedy was by a motion to set aside or quash the indictment. State v. Brandon, 28 Ark. 411; Robinson v. State, 33 Ark. 182; Price v. State, 71 Ark. 180.\nNo error appearing in the record, the judgment is affirmed.",
