Section 162: Formation of jury panel.

Whenever it shall be necessary to form a panel of jurors to serve at any session, the Sheriff in conjunction with an officer nominated by the Judge, shall cause the names of the jurors in the list, resident at and near the district, to be written on separate cards or pieces of paper of equal size and placed in ballot boxes to be kept for that purpose, and shall draw from said boxes such number of names, as the Court may direct, of special jurors and common jurors to form a panel, and the cards or slips so drawn shall thereupon be locked up in separate boxes until the whole of the names of the jurors, except those who may have served at the last preceding session, shall be returned to the ballot boxes, and, when required the names shall be re-drawn in manner aforesaid.
