Bell, Presiding Judge.

Defendant appeals from the judgment of conviction for assault and battery on a police officer. Held:

The motion was overruled. A plea in bar of trial for former jeopardy must be made in writing upon arraignment, and before pleading to the merits. If not made in writing at the proper time, a plea of former jeopardy is *282 waived. Code § 27-1501; Hill v. State, 41 Ga. 484, 502; Hall v. State, 103 Ga. 403 (29 SE 915); Brown v.
