vacancies thus made in the petit jury by drawing the necessary num-

The judge or judges of said court shall have the same power to
compel attendance of jurors, and shall proceed in all other matters
relating to jurors not provided for in this sub-title, as under the Pub-

230G.

Whenever a judge, or the judges, of the Circuit Court of the coun-
ties embraced in the Second Judicial Circuit, draws a jury, he or
they, after selecting from the taxables and voters, as required by
law, the list of names to be placed in the box for the drawing, and
certifying to the list, shall cause the names on the list to be num-
bered, commencing with the first name thereon, numbering upwards
consecutively, and then, instead of requiring the names on the
selected list to be written on ballots and placed in and drawn from
the box, the said judge or judges drawing the jury, in his or their
discretion, and option and in lieu of such written ballots, may cause
the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county wherein they are to be
used to provide a number of white marbles or balls, each of the same
size and plainly marked with numbers from one consecutively up-
wards to the highest number on the selected list of names certified to
by said judge or judges, which said marbles or balls shall be placed
in the box from which drawings are made in the case where ballots
are used, where the drawings are made by districts, the marbles or
balls shall be deposited in the district compartments in such way
that their numbers shall correspond, in each district, with the names
on the judge's or judges' selected list and the numbers thereof; the
said judge, or judges, shall then cause the Clerk of the Court for the
county in which the drawing is being made, or one of his deputies
whom the said judge, or judges, shall designate, neither the one nor
the other who may be so required to act to be present at the selection
of the said list of names or the numbering of the same, to appear be-
fore him or them, and then and there in the presence of the said
judge or judges, and such other persons as may choose to attend, to
draw from the box in which the balls are placed, in the same order
and way that ballots would be drawn, without in any way looking
into said box, one by one forty-eight of said marbles or balls; and as
each marble or ball is drawn from the box it shall be handed to the
judge or judges, who shall announce the number thereon and the
name on the said selected and certified list whose number corresponds
therewith; and the forty-eight names corresponding by numbers to
the forty-eight numbers on the marbles or balls so drawn and the
said numbers, shall be duly recorded in the presence of the said judge
or judges, who shall forthwith order a venire facias for the persons
whose names have been so drawn. The forty-eight marbles or balls
drawn shall be sealed up safely, and preserved by the clerk; the
marbles or balls that were not drawn shall remain in the box or
boxes, wherein they were deposited, which shall be locked or sealed,
to be used in filling vacancies that may occur in the jury, in the same
