fied to try the issue; and must make and certify a list of those names.

2. The party, on whose application the special jury was directed to be struck, or his attorney or counsel, may then first strike from the list one name; the adverse party or his attorney or counsel may then strike therefrom one name; and so alternately, until each party has stricken out twelve names. 3. If either party fails to attend, at the time and place of striking the jury, or neglects to strike out a name, the clerk, deputy-clerk, or commissioner, must strike for him.

4. The clerk, deputy-clerk, or commissioner, must thereupon make out a list of the names of the twenty-four persons not stricken out, and must certify that it is a correct list of the persons, drawn to serve as jurors, pursuant to the order of the court. He must immediately deliver the list so certified, and a certified copy of the order, to the sheriff of the county. If the list, from any ward or town, cannot be found, the clerk must make a new list from the ballots then in use for jurors for that ward or town, and must use that list, upon striking the jury, in place of the original list.

§ 1066. The sheriff must notify the persons whose names are contained in the list, and must return the names of those notified, to the term, at which they are required to attend, as prescribed by law for notifying and returning ordinary trial jurors.

§ 1067. From the persons so notified and attending, a jury must be formed for the trial, and the issue must be tried, as prescribed in this chapter with respect to an ordinary jury trial. The court has the same power to excuse or discharge a juror, and to cause additional jurors to be drawn, or tales men to attend, as upon an ordinary jury trial. But the court may, in its discretion, set aside an additional juror so drawn, or a talesman, upon the objection of either party, without a formal challenge.

§ 1068. [Am'd 1884.] If it appears to the court to which an application for a special jury is made, that the clerk, or the commissioner of jurors as the case may be, is interested in the action, or is related to either of the parties, or is not indifferent between them, the court must appoint two dis interested persons to strike the jury; and the court may, in its discretion, in any case appoint two such persons to strike such jury. The persons so appointed possess, for the purposes of the action, all the powers conferred by this article upon the clerk or the commissioner of jurors.

S1069. The expense of striking a special jury must be paid by the party applying for it, and shall not be taxed in the costs of the action.

§ 1070. Where an order for a trial by a foreign jury is made, a certified copy thereof must be delivered to the sher iff of the county, from which it is to be drawn; who mus give notice thereof to the clerk of that county, and also, the city and county of New York, or the county of Kings, te the commissioner of jurors, at least twenty days before the first day of the term, at which the foreign jury is required to attend.

§ 1071. The clerk, or, in the county of Kings, the com missioner, to whom the notice is given, must draw the names! of twenty-four persons, in the same manner, and in presence

of the same officers, as prescribed by law, with respect to ordinary trial jurors; except that notice of the drawing need not be published. A certified list of the names drawn must be delivered to the sheriff, who must notify each person drawn, and make a return, as in an ordinary case.

$1072. A person duly notified, as prescribed in this title, to attend a term of a court of record, as a trial juror, who, without reasonable cause, neglects to attend, according to the notice, shall be fined a sum, not less than ten dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars, for each day that he so neglects to attend.

$1073. Where it appears, by the return of the sheriff, that the delinquent was personally notified to attend, the fine may be imposed by the court, at the term which he was required to attend. But where it appears, by the return, that he was notified, by leaving the notice at his residence, the court must cause an order to be entered in its minutes, requiring him to show cause, on the first day of the next term of the court, why a fine should not be imposed upon him.

S1074. If the order is made at a term of a circuit court, it may, in the discretion of the court, direct the delinquent to show cause, on the first day of the next term of the county court of the same county.

1075. The clerk must immediately deliver two certified copies of the order to the sheriff of the county, who must serve one copy on the delinquent personally, and return the other, with his proceedings thereon, to the term at which the delinquent is required to show cause.

§ 1076. If the sheriff returns the copy of the order as personally served, or if the delinquent attends, in obedience thereto, the court must, unless good cause is shown to the contrary, impose the proper fine; otherwise it must make a further order, requiring the delinquent to show cause at the next term why the fine should not be imposed. The proceedings under such an order are the same as under the first order. Similar orders must be made, from term to term, and similar proceedings taken, until the delinquent is personally served, or attends in obedience thereto.

1077. But if it appears, from the return of the sheriff, or from any other evidence, that the juror is dead, or insane, or has permanently removed from the county; or if a satisfactory excuse is rendered by any person, in his behalf, for his default, the court may, in its discretion, discontinue the proceedings.

§ 1078. This article does not apply to the city and county of New York, or to the county of Kings.
