The record indicates that the judgment ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‍was pronounced and entered without warrant or indictment, or waiver thereof (Gr.S. ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‍15-140), and without arraignment, plea, or the intervention of a jury. It necessarily ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‍follows, then, that the judgment is void. This is conceded by the State. ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‍The judgment will be vacated and set aside. Of course, the Solicitor ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‍may send a bill, if so advised.
