— An indictment proceeds from and is the act of the grand jury and to give it validity no function of the solicitor is necessary.—Joyner v. State, TS Ala. 448. Whether his appointment was valid or not the mere fact that the solicitor appeared without more before the grand jury when the indictment was found did not affect- the validity of the indictment, and, therefore, the motion to quash did not raise the question of his eligibility for appointment.
Bobbery being an offense which may be punished capitally a judgment of conviction therefor cannot be upheld on appeal unless the record shows- affirmatively tliat a day was set for trial and that a special jury was drawn in accordance with the requirements of the statute, Cr, Code, § 5004. —Burton v.State, 115 Ala. 1, and cases there cited. That part of the record if there was any such in the trial court, is not of the class which under section 4325 of the Code may properly be omitted from the transcript.
Beversed and remanded.
