QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.
The defendants appeal their conviction for armed robbery and automobile theft. Held:
1. The evidence amply supported the verdict.
2. It was not error to appoint one attorney to defend both defendants nor was it error to overrule the motions for severance. Davis v. State, 129 Ga. App. 796, (1, 2) ( 201 S.E.2d 345). See Padgett v. State, 239 Ga. 556 ( 238 S.E.2d 92).
3. The trial judge, after charging the jury, remarked: "Thank you. All right. You may retire, and the quicker you get through the quicker we'll all go home." This is contended to be an unlawful expression of opinion in violation of Code § 81-1104.
We find the remark was indeed improper, although not necessarily a violation of the cited Code section. Nevertheless, the rules is that no question in this regard may be raised unless a timely objection or motion for mistrial is interposed, invoking a ruling in the lower court. Pulliam v. State, 196 Ga. 783 (6) ( 28 S.E.2d 139); Calhoun v. State, 210 Ga. 180 (3) ( 78 S.E.2d 425); Freedman v. Housing Authority, 108 Ga. App. 418 (1a) ( 136 S.E.2d 544). In the absence of any objection, this ground is without merit.
4. The remaining enumerations of error are without merit.
Judgment affirmed. Shulman and Banke, JJ., concur.
