mon as such talesmen, any of the jurymen in attendance upon
either of the said courts, except said Criminal Court of Balti-
more, who may not then be engaged as a part of any special
panel; and if it should happen at any time that in summoning
talesmen for any of the said courts, the Sheriff shall exhaust the
whole list of the names drawn from the said wheel, as provided
in this sub-division of this Article, it shall be his duty imme-
diately to make report thereof, verified by his affidavit or affir-

mation, to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, and there-
upon the said Judges, or one of them, shall immediately cause
the Sheriff, or his deputy to be designated by him, to appear
before such Judge, in some one of the courtrooms in said City,
and cause such additional number of names as shall be desig-
nated by the Judge of the Court for which such talesmen are
needed, to be drawn from the names selected by said Judges
as aforesaid, and still remaining upon said list of qualified
jurors, and from such further names, if any, as the Judges of
the Supreme Bench, or a majority of them, shall select and
cause to be added to said list; and the said drawing shall be
made, and the names drawn shall be recorded in the manner
provided in sections 605 and 606; and the talesmen shall be
summoned from such additional number of persons so drawn
in the manner hereinbefore directed.

faction of the court; and if any juror summoned, and not ex-
cused, shall fail to attend the said court until duly discharged,
he shall be fined, for the use of the said City, not less than
twenty nor more than two hundred dollars, to be recovered by
attachment, or such other appropriate process as the said court
may direct.
