The gist ef the discussion relative
to the new lawt relating te the selec

says: Grand jurers shall he drawn
from the jury list, and in case ef nen
attendanee of persons selected, the
sheriff shall 11 the vacancies from the
body of the .county, net from the jury
list Now, the question is, do these
conflict, and upon the question legal
opinion is divided.
