REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 51, §7. Subsection (c) presently
appears as Art. 51, §9(e). Since both
sections deal with summoning jurors, they are
placed in the same section. The wording of
subsection (c) was changed to make clear that
all names on the qualified jury wheel must be
exhausted before alternate selection
procedures, outside the provisions of the
plan, are employed.

The reference to certified mail is proposed
for deletion as unnecessary. Art. 1, §20
defines registered mail as including
certified mail.

The following British statutes deal with
talesman and were repealed by Ch. 648, H.B.
1587, Acts of 1973: 35 Henry 8 c6 (1543) -

"Distringas" proceedings. 4 and 5 Phillip
and Mary c7 (1573) — summoning talesmen in
criminal cases. 14 Elizabeth c5 — extending
these acts to all shires in England and
