same, 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 attend,
to draw from the box in which the balls are placed, in the same order and
way that ballots would be drawn, without in any way looking into said
box, one by one forty-eight of said marbles or balls; and as each marble
or ball is drawn from the box it shall be handed to the judge or judges,
who shall announce the number thereon and the name on the said selected
and certified list whose number corresponds therewith; and the forty-eight
names corresponding by numbers to the forty-eight numbers on the mar-
bles or balls so drawn and the said numbers, shall be duly recorded in the
presence of the said judge or judges, who shall forthwith order a venire
facias for the persons whose names have been so drawn. The forty-eight
marbles or balls drawn shall be sealed up safely, and preserved by the
clerk; the marbles or balls that were not drawn shall remain in the box
or boxes, wherein they were deposited, which shall be locked or sealed, to
be used in filling vacancies that may occur in the jury, in the same way
they might be filled if the drawing had been made by ballots. The intent
and meaning of this Act is not to supersede or repeal the laws now regu-
lating the drawing of juries by ballot, but simply to provide another way
of drawing them, leaving the judges in said Judicial Circuit free to use
either the ballot system or the marble or ball system as may be most con-
venient and satisfactory to the judge or judges drawing a jury.

required to attend and sit in the trial of a case at a night session of the
Circuit Court for any county in the Second Judicial Circuit of this State,
or be otherwise detained in said court at night, in the discharge of their
duty as jurors, the court may, in its discretion, allow each of such jurors
and talesmen compensation for such night service; provided, such addi-
tional compensation shall not exceed two dollars to each juror for any one
night, and shall be paid in the same way that their per diem is now paid
to jurors.
