[ocr errors]

Setting aside indictment. The grounds here enumerated are the only ones upon which an indictment may be set aside on motion: People v. Southwell, 46 Cal. 141; People v. Schmidt, 64 Id. 260. This motion must be made before demurrer or plea, and if not so made, the defendant is precluded from afterwards availing himself of the objections which he is allowed to present on such motion: See the next section; People v. Freeland, 6 Id. 98; People v. Lawrence, 21 Id. 368; People v. Lopez, 26 Id. 112; People v. King, 28 Id. 272; People v. Stacey, 34 Id. 307. The grounds upon which the motion may be based go to matters occurring prior to the finding of the indictment or filing the information as well as

to their presentation and indorsement. The ruling of the lower court upon a motion to set aside an indictment or information will not be disturbed where the evidence is conflicting: People v. Ah Chung, 54 Id. 398. In People v. Southwell, 46 Cal. 141, it was held, upon motion to set aside an indictment for not being found, etc., as prescribed in this code, that irregularities in selecting, summoning, and impaneling the jury could not be inquired into. So in People v. Colby, 54 Id. 37, and People v. Hunter, 54 Id. 65, this ruling was approved, and it was held that the meaning of the phrase "when not found as prescribed in this code,' was simply that the indictment must be concurred in by the constitutional number of jurors.

§ 1315. [116.] The motion to set aside the indictment must be made and heard at the time of the arraignment, unless for good cause the court postpone the hearing to a future time, and if not so made, the defendant is precluded from afterwards taking the objections mentioned in section 1314 [115].

See the preceding section and note.

§ 1316. [117.] If the motion be allowed, the court must order that the defendant, if in custody, be disgranted, pro- charged therefrom; or if he have given bail or deposited money in lieu thereof, that his bail be exonerated or his money refunded to him, unless it direct that the case be resubmitted to the same or another grand jury.

§ 1317.

[119.] Unless a new indictment be found before the next grand jury of the county is discharged, the court must, on the discharge of such grand jury, make the order prescribed by section 1316 [117].

If resubmission not ordered defendant to be discharged.

Id., § 129.

§ 1325. [126.] Upon considering the demurrer, the court must give judgment, either allowing or disallowing it, and an entry to that effect must be entered in the journal.

§ 1326. [127.] If the demurrer be allowed, the judgment is final upon the indictment demurred to, and is a bar to another action for the same crime, unless the court, being of opinion that the objection on which the demurrer is allowed may be avoided in a new indictment, direct the case to be resubmitted to the same or another grand jury.

Effect of judgment on demurrer: See § 1329 [130], post. In People v. Ah Own, 39 Cal. 604, an order sustaining a demurrer was held to be a final judgment from which an appeal could be taken; but in People v. Martin, 47 Id. 112, an order sustaining a demurrer on the ground that the indictment did not charge a felony, but a simple assault, and leaving the case for trial as to the assault, was held not a final judgment from which an appeal would lie. Whether

an appeal will lie from an order sustaining a demurrer is considered doubtful: People v. Quong On Long, 6 Pac. C. L. J. 116. Where on appeal the record failed to show what disposition the lower court had made of a demurrer interposed by the defendant, it was held that for aught that appeared, it might have been withdrawn, and that, the information appearing good in substance, the judgment would not be disturbed: People v. Clarke, 7 Id. 190.

§ 1327. [128.] If the court do not direct the case to be resubmitted, the defendant, if in custody, must be discharged, or if admitted to bail, his bail is exonerated, or if he have deposited money in lieu thereof, the money must be refunded to him.
