474 LAWS OF MARYLAND.
609. If the full panels of jurors for the said several courts
shall not be obtained from the jurors so drawn for the several
panels of the said courts, as herein provided, or from said re-
serve, by reason of some of said jurors or reserve being legally
disabled or excused from attending, or not being found, or
from other causes, the Sheriff, upon being notified by any of
said Judges what additional number of jurors is required for
the court in which he presides, shall proceed to complete the
said panel in which jurors are needed, by summoning in the
stead of such jurors such number of persons as said Judge may
direct, of the persons whose names are set down in the said
jury book next after the regular panels, and after those persons
who have been summoned as the reserve hereinbefore provided
for; and he shall summon such persons, as near as he can
reasonably do so, in the order in which they are set down in
said book, and their names shall be called for empaneling in
the order in which they appear in said book.
610. If at any trial of any cause in any of the several courts
as aforesaid, tales de circumstantibus, shall be ordered, it shall be
the duty of the Sheriff to summon such talesmen, those who are
entered in said book and are not upon the regular panels as
aforesaid; and such talesmen shall be summoned and called to
be sworn or affirmed upon the voir dire, or otherwise, in the
order in which their names are set down in said jury book, un-
less the Sheriff or his deputy in that behalf shall swear that he
has made true and diligent search for such persons as do not
appear, and that they cannot be found, or unless being sum-
moned such persons have failed to appear, or unless the State's
Attorney or his deputy, and counsel for the traverser, or the
counsel for the parties litigant, with the consent of the court,
shall waive said order for summoning and swearing or affirm-
ing such talesmen; but if said affidavit shall have been made by
said Sheriff of his deputy, or if such persons shall fail to appear
after having been summoned as aforesaid, or the said waiver
shall be made with the consent of the court, then such of the
talesmen as have been properly summoned and have appeared
shall be called to be sworn in the order in which their said
names are regorded in the jury book aforesaid; or whenever in
either of said courts it shall be necessary to summon talesmen,
