608. When the jury books shall have been prepared and certified as
directed in the foregoing section, it shall be the duty of the said Judge or
Judges by whom the same shall have been so certified, to cause one of the
said books to be deposited in the custody of the Clerk of the Superior
Court of Baltimore City, and one in the custody of the Sheriff of Balti-
more City, and one shall be retained by the said Judges of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City, or by such one of their number as they shall
appoint for the purpose of verifying the list of persons so delivered as
aforesaid to the Clerks or the Sheriff of Baltimore City. And when the
said books shall have been delivered to the said Sheriff, he shall imme-
diately summon the several jurors drawn for the several panels named
in the said book, to serve in the court for which they have been respectively
drawn, at such time as shall be designated by the court. And in addition
to summoning the said jurors for the said several panels, the said Sheriff
shall also summon such additional number of persons, whose names are
set down in said book, and as nearly as may be in the order in which their
names are so set down, as the said Judges of the Supreme Bench, or a
majority of them, shall direct, to appear in the room of the Superior
Court of Baltimore City at the same time with the panel for said court.
And the said additional number of jurors shall constitute a reserve, from
which without further summons, jurors may be selected to serve in lieu
of any persons drawn for the regular panels of said court aforesaid, who
may not be found, fail to appear, are legally disabled, or are excused or
excluded from attending, so that panels may be completed by selecting
from said reserve, in the following order: First, for the Superior Court
of Baltimore City; second, the Criminal Court of Baltimore; third, the
Baltimore City Court; and fourth, the Court of Common Pleas. And
until said panels have been completed, said reserves shall be required,
upon the order of the several courts, to proceed from one to the other in
the order above mentioned; and when all said pamels have been completed,
those persons summoned for such reserve, and not empaneled, shall be
discharged, but shall not thereby be excused from service when resum-
moned; and in empaneling juries for said reserve their names shall be
called in the order in which they appear in said book; and the names of
said reserves shall first be called in the Superior Court of Baltimore City,
the Judge of which Court shall determine upon their qualifications as
jurors, and the right or claim of any members of said reserve to be
excused or exempted from service.
