State have been drawn as hereinbefore provided by this
Article, and the business of said term has so far proceeded as
that either the grand jury or the petit jury, or both the grand
jury and the petit jury shall have been finally discharged, and
by reason of any event or events happening before or after
said final discharge, any criminal charge shall arise which
the said court shall deem of sufficient importance to be investi-
gated forthwith by the grand jury, and to be tried by a petit
jury, the said court may, in its discretion, require the grand
jury for said term, and the petit jury for said term, or either
said grand jurors or said petit jurors, to be summoned to
return to said court at such time as the court may direct; and
in case any one of said jurors shall be unable to attend, for
reasons which said court may deem satisfactory, the court

shall proceed to fill the vacancy thus created as though said
juror had not been finally discharged, and thereupon said

or either of them, had not been finally discharged for said
term; and in counties where the Circuit Court holds non jury
terms, the power of the court to require the return of the
jurors aforesaid, and to hold a session of said adjourned jury
term shall exist as though there were no such non-jury terms
of said court, and the same had not intervened.
