ALLEGANY COUNTY. 115

51 of the Code of Public General Laws, the judge or judges of said
Court, may, in his or their discretion, in lieu thereof require the Clerk
of said court to provide a box of sufficient dimensions, and to have the
same divided into two compartments, and further to provide two hundred
white balls, each of the same size, plainly and clearly marked with num-
bers from one to two hundred, respectively, which said balls shall be
placed in one compartment of said box, and thoroughly shaken and well
mixed, and after the list of two hundred names shall have been selected
and certified to as provided in the preceding section, the said judge or
judges shall then cause the Clerk, or one of his deputies, whom the said
judge or judges shall designate, neither the one nor the other who may
be so required to act, to be present at the selection of the said list of two
hundred names, to appear before him or them, and then and there, in the
presence of the said judge or judges, and such other persons as may choose
to be present, to draw from the compartment in which said balls have
been placed, through the opening made by removing the sliding top there-
of, as will only conveniently admit the hand, and without in any way
looking into said box, one by one, forty-eight of said balls; and as each
of said balls are drawn from said box it shall be handed to the said judge
or judges, who shall announce the number thereon, together with the
name on the list of two hundred names corresponding to said number so
drawn; and the said forty-eight names corresponding to the forty-eight
numbers so drawn shall, with said numbers, be duly recorded by said
judge or judges, or by the clerk, in their presence and under their direc-
tion, in the order in which they shall be drawn; and thereupon the said
judge or judges shall forthwith order a venire facias, as provided in said
Article 51 of the Code of Public General Laws; and after the said forty-
eight balls have been so drawn, and the numbers thereon and the names
corresponding thereto, shall have been recorded, as herein provided, the
judge or judges shall place the said forty-eight balls in the compartment
of said box other than the one from which they were drawn, together
with the certified list of two hundred names, and shall cause the said box
to be closed and locked and kept and only opened as provided for in Article
51 of the Code of Public General Laws; provided, however, that if for any
of the reasons mentioned in Article 51 of the Code of Public General Laws
it shall become necessary to draw talesmen, or to fill vacancies, the judge
or judges shall draw from said box as many balls as may be necessary
therefor, in the same manner as the original forty-eight were drawn.

322. No person shall be drawn and summoned again as a juror in Alle-
gany County until the expiration of four years from the term of court
at which he last served; provided, that a failure to comply with this sec-
tion shall not affect the validitv of any verdict which may be rendered.
