Opinion

Turnee, J.

1. The plaintiff in error, having been convicted in the city court of Macon as a vagrant, under the act of August 17, 1903 (Acts of 1893, p. 46), moved in arrest of judgment on two grounds : (a) because there had been no commitment hearing in her case : and (6) because she had not been tried and convicted before a jury in the city court. The first ground was not insisted on in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error, and is therefore treated as abandoned. The plaintiff in error having waived her right to a trial by jury, held, that it was competent for her to do so, and the second ground of her motion in arrest of judgment, was properly overruled by the court below.
