judges that the said list of names has been duly selected in conformity
with and according to the spirit and intent of this article, and which
said lists and certificates shall be filed with the clerks of the said
courts and by them preserved as other proceedings of the said
courts are kept. In the counties above mentioned the names drawn
on the panel shall be distributed among the several election districts
in approximately the same proportion as required for drawing the
list of regular jurors. Modified as to Howard, Garrett, Allegany,
Anne Arundel, Worcester, Somerset, and St. Mary's, Caroline, Queen

vided in the local laws thereof.

12.

Of the forty-eight jurors drawn and summoned, the court at the
beginning of the term for which they were drawn and summoned
shall select and appoint one as foreman of the grand jury (except
that in Montgomery County the foreman shall be selected from the
original panel of five hundred names, with his name being included
among the jurors drawn and summoned and in Washington County
the foreman shall be selected from the list of names presently being
used as a panel in said county, as provided in Section 9 of this
article, and in Charles County the foreman shall be selected from
its original panel of names presently being used in said county),
and shall direct the clerk of said court to legibly write upon ballots
the names of the remaining forty-seven jurors, and after carefully
folding said ballots separately to place them in a box with a sliding
top, and said clerk shall draw said ballots therefrom one at a time
without looking into said box and the first twenty-two names drawn,
with the foreman previously appointed, shall constitute the grand
jury, and the remaining twenty-five names (or, in Montgomery and
Washington counties the remaining number of names) shall con-
stitute the petit jury for said term of court; 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 appoint-
ment 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 excused for
cause the court shall forthwith proceed to fill such vacancies from
the aforesaid remaining number of twenty-five names of those who
are present in the order in which the names were drawn from the
box and may thereupon in its discretion fill such vacancy or va-
cancies thus made in the petit jury by drawing the necessary number
of additional names therefor in manner provided by Section 10 of
this article. In Charles County and Prince George's County the "pellet
system" set out in Section 10 (f) and 10 (g) shall be used in the
selection of grand and petit juries. In Calvert County the system
of marbles, balls or pellets, as set out in Section 10(a-l) shall be
used in the selection of grand juries and petit juries. This section
is modified as to Allegany County and Talbot County. This section
