drawers or compartments for future use in drawing jurors for said term

of court.

1900, ch. 618, sec. 5.

252. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the position of foreman of the
grand jury, either temporary or permanent, by death, absence, sickness or
any other cause, the court shall have power to appoint some other member

of the grand jury foreman, as often as the necessity for such appointment
shall occur. If for any reason any person or persons drawn as a grand
juror or grand jurors shall fail to attend and be present at the conclusion
of the drawing, or be disqualified, or be excused for cause, the court shall
forthwith proceed to fill such vacancy or vacancies from the aforesaid
remaining number of twenty-five names of those who are present in the

order in which said names were drawn from the election district or dis-
tricts, corresponding with those from which such vacancy may be created,
as above, and may thereupon in its discretion fill such vacancy or vacancies
thus made in the petit jury by drawing the necessary number of additional
names in the manner prescribed in this Act from the district wherein such
vacancy or vacancies may exist.

the same size and plainly marked with numbers from one consecutively
