whose names have been so drawn. The [forty-eight] seventy-three
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 way they might be filled if the drawing had been made
by ballots. The intent and meaning of this subtitle is not to supersede
or repeal the laws now regulating the drawing of juries by ballot,
but simply to provide another way of drawing them, leaving the
judges in said Judicial Court free to use either the ballot system or the
marble or ball system as may be most convenient and satisfactory
to the judge or judges drawing a jury.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby declared
to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immediate pres-
ervation of the public health and safety, and having been passed by a
yea and nay vote supported by three-fifths of the members elected to
each of the two houses of the General Assembly, the same shall take
effect from the date of its passage.

Approved April 10, 1968.
