County after any general election which has been last held before such

in proportion to the number of registered voters, and male taxpayers in

86. When list of names is so selected and certified, the judge or judges
of said court, in presence of members of the bar and others attending,
shall cause all the names so selected to be legally written on ballots of
equal size and of the same color and appearance, which shall be closely
folded and placed by said judge or judges personally into a box (cubic
form) of 24x24 inches in size, with nine separate boxes or drawers in it,
and the number of jurors' names to be placed in each box shall be appor-
tioned in proportion to the eligible jurors from each of said respective elec-
tion districts; and the said judge or judges shall cause the clerk to said
Circuit Court or one of his deputies to draw from the box in which the
names of the list from the first district have been placed the number of
persons to which said district is entitled by the apportionment hereinbe-
fore provided for, and so on consecutively from each district of the county,
until the number of forty-eight names shall have been so drawn, and the
names so drawn shall constitute the jury for the next ensuing term of
said court; provided, however, in case of a vacancy occurring from any
cause, such as sickness, death, or being excused, that the vacancy so occur-
ring shall be filled from the other names in the box representing the dis-
trict in which such vacancy shall have occurred; and the order to the
sheriff to summon shall be in the usual manner and form now practiced
under the laws of this State, it being the intent of this act that each of
the election districts of said county shall have a representation on such
jury as the proportion of its voting and taxable male population bears to
the population of the whole county.
