grand juror or grand jurors shall fail to attend and be present at the
conclusion of the drawing or be disqualified, or be excused for cause,
the court shall forthwith proceed to file such vacancy or vacancies
from the remaining number of [25] 50 names of those who are pres-
ent in the order in which the names were drawn from the election
district or districts, corresponding with those from which such
vacancy may be created, as above, but if there be no names, or per-
sons, or an inadequate number of them left in the boxes for the dis-
tricts where the vacancies occur, the court may fill such vacancies by
drawing the necessary number of names or persons, from any of the
districts at large; and may thereupon, in its discretion, fill such
vacancy or vacancies thus made in the petit jury by drawing the
necessary number of additional names in the manner prescribed in
this subtitle from the district or districts wherein such vacancy or
vacancies may be; or such vacancies in the petit jury may remain
unfilled, if the court deem it unnecessary to fill them.

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 numbered,
commencing with the first name thereon, numbering upwards con-
secutively, 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 upwards 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 appeal
before 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] seventy-three 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]
seventy-three names corresponding by numbers to the [forty-eight]
seventy-three 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
