1896 ARTICLE 51.
at such time as the court may direct; and in case any one of the petit
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 the petit jury had not been finally discharged, and as now provided
by law, and thereupon said court may proceed to investigate and try said
criminal charge as fully and completely as though said grand or petit
jurors, 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. And the grand
jurors summoned to return to the court under this section, if there be
twelve present, and concurring in any action taken by them shall have all
the powers of the grand jury originally constituted for the term, to which
they were drawn, and for the transaction of all business at said session of
the court.
