Young v. State

Felton, Chief Judge.

1. “Defects in an indictment or accusation must be taken advantage of by demurrer before trial or motion in arrest of judgment after conviction; they furnish no grounds for granting a new trial. Rucker v. State, 114 Ga. 13 (1) (39 SE 902).” Davis v. State, 105 Ga. App. 5 (1) (123 SE2d 271). Accordingly, where an accusation, charging the defendant with the offense of larceny from the house of over $50 and alleging his stealing of $400 in money “of the value of $40,” was not objected to by either of the above types of pleadings, said objection was waived.
