respective drawers in which they were originally placed, for further use
in drawing any additional Jurors needed to fill vacancies.

1914, ch. 106, sec. 142A.

217. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the position of Foreman of the
Grand Jury, either temporary or permanent, caused by sickness, death,
absence, or by permission of the Court, the Court shall appoint some other
member of the Grand Jury to be Foreman thereof during such vacancy.
If for any reason any person or persons drawn as a Grand Juror, shall
fail to attend the session on the first day thereof and answer to his name
at the end of the drawing, or be disqualified, or be excused for cause, the
Court shall forthwith proceed to fill such vacancy or vacancies from the
remaining number of twenty-five names of those who are present, in the
order in which their names were drawn from the election district or dis-
tricts in which such vacancy occurs, but if there be no names or persons,
or an inadequate number of them, left in the drawer for the district where
the vacancy occurs, the Court may fill such vacancies by drawing the lack-
ing number of persons in any district from those of the other districts. All
vacancies in the Petit Jury caused by drawing to fill vacancies in the
Grand Jury, or otherwise, may be filled by drawing the necessary number
of names from the ballots replaced in the drawers as aforesaid, from the
districts in which such vacancies occur; or such vacancies may remain
unfilled, if the Court deem it unnecessary to fill the same.

1914, ch. 106, sec. 143A.

218. The Court shall have the same power to compel the attendance of
Jurors, and shall proceed in all other matters relating to Jurors not pro-
vided for in this Act, as under the Public General Laws relating to Jurors.

1914, ch. 72.

219. Whenever a judge, or the judges, of the Circuit Court of the
Counties embraced in the Second Judicial Circuit, draws a jury, he or
they, after selecting from the taxables and voters, as required by law, the
list of names to be placed in the box for the drawing and certifying to
the list, shall cause the names on the list to be numbered, commencing with
the first name thereon, numbering upwards consecutively, and then, instead
of requiring the names on the selected list to be written on ballots and
placed in and drawn from the box, the said judge or judges drawing the
jury, in his or their discretion, and option and in lieu of such written
ballots, may cause the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the County wherein
they are to be used to provide a number of white marbles or balls, each of
the same size and plainly marked with numbers from one consecutively
upwards to the highest number on the selected list of names certified to
by said judge or judges, which said marbles or balls shall be placed in the
box from which drawings are made in the case where ballots are used;
where the drawings are made by districts, the marbles or balls shall be
deposited in the district compartments in such way that their numbers,
shall correspond, in each district, with the names on the judge's or judges'
