ing, whether they were appointed, rejected or excused, and
if rejected or excused, the reasons therefor. No person

son so selected and notified to appear for examination, who
shall not appear before the board as required, or shall refuse to
serve, shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more

not qualified for such service by reasons of ill health, infirmity
or old age. It shall be the duty of the supervisors to notify
the State's Attorney of the county or the city of Baltimore of
the failure, refusal or neglect of any person, and to require the
State's Attorney to institute proceedings for such penalty at
the next term of court; the State's Attorney shall receive a fee
of fifty dollars for every penalty recovered by him, to be paid
out of the sum actually recovered, whether the proceedings
for the recovery of such penalty shall be instituted of his own
motion or at the instance of said supervisors.
