WALKER, P. J.

The ruling on the defendant’s motion to quash the ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍indictment cannot be reviewed, as the record does not set out the motion or otherwise disclose the grounds of it. — McQueen v. State, 138 ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍Ala. 63, 65 South. 39; Lacey v. State, 154 Ala. 65, 45 South. 680.

The court was not in error in overruling the motion in arrest of ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍judgment. That motion undertook to present objections to the indictment on grounds going to the formation of the grand jury which ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍found it. This is permitted to be done only by plea in abatement. — Section 23, Jury Law (Acts Special Session ‍‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍1909, p. 315) ; Thornton v. State, 4 Ala. App. 205, 59 South. 234.

Affirmed.
