HOWARD COUNTY. 3093

the list of jurors who have been summoned and are in attendance on the
first day of the term of the court to which they are summoned, to be num-
bered consecutively upwards from one to forty-eight, and may cause the
Clerk of the Court to provide a number of white marbles or balls each
of the same size and plainly numbered consecutively upwards from one
to forty-eight, which said marbles or balls, except the one bearing the
number corresponding to the number given the juror who has been desig-
nated as foreman, shall be placed in a box provided for that purpose;
after which the Clerk shall, in the presence of the judge or judges, 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 twenty-two of said marbles or balls, and shall announce the
number thereon and the name of the juror on said list whose number
corresponds therewith; and the twenty-two jurors whose names correspond
by number to the first twenty-two marbles or balls so drawn, together
with the juror who, having been already designated as foreman, and whose
number has not been placed in the box, shall constitute the Grand Jury
for the term; and the jurors whose names and numbers correspond to the
remaining twenty-five marbles or balls shall constitute the Petit Jury for
the term. The intent and meaning of this Act is not to supersede or re-
peal the laws now regulating the drawing of juries by ballot, but simply
to provide another way of drawing them, leaving the judges in said county
free to use either the ballot system or the marble or ball system as may
be most convenient and satisfactory to the judge or judges drawing a jury.
