A list of trial

§ 531-a. List of jurors; how selected. jurors for the court must be selected by the commissioner of jurors for the county of Erie and must consist of not less than two hundred persons qualified to serve. A person shall not be placed upon such jury list who does not reside or have a place where he regularly transacts business in person within the city of Buffalo. The said commissioner of jurors shall, on or before the first Monday in September of each and every year, furnish the

clerk of the court with such list, together with the residences and occupations of the persons so selected by him. The clerk of the court shall write on separate slips of paper the name of each juror upon such list, and shall place the slips in a box to be called the undrawn jury box and no person shall serve as juror more than once in a calendar year. The contents of the drawn and undrawn jury boxes may be at any time inspected by the commissioner of jurors, or his deputy. Each juror shall be paid two dollars for each and every day or portion thereof that he actually serves upon jury, and each person summoned to attend as a juryman shall be paid two dollars for each day that he attends, unless he is excused from serving as a juryman at his own request, in which event he shall be paid only the amount paid him by the marshal as provided in section five hundred and thirty-one-b. Such payment shall be made only upon the certificate of the judge presiding at the trial of the number of days served, and the amount due each juror. The common council of the city of Buffalo shall provide a fund for the payment of jurors and payment of such jurors shall be made by the clerk of said court out of such funds. (Added by chapter 124 of the Laws of 1914, as amended by chapter 571 of the Laws of 1917.)

§ 531-b. Jury; how drawn. The clerk, in each action in which a jury trial is to be had, must publicly and in the presence of the judge of the court draw the names of twelve persons from the undrawn jury box, and deliver the list thereof to a marshal, or a person deputed by the court for that purpose, with a written or printed notice, directed to each person named in the list, re quiring him to attend as directed as a juror, at the time specified therein, which shall not be sooner than two days after the service, out of which number six of the persons attending shall be drawn to try the cause, provided that number appear. In case a jury of twelve shall have been demanded, the clerk shall in like manner draw the names of not less than twenty-four persons, or a greater number, as directed by the court, who shall be summoned in like manner, and twelve of such number shall be drawn to try the cause. Either party shall have the same number of peremptory challenges allowed in the court of record if the jury consists of twelve men.

The marshal, or the person deputed, as provided in this act, must thereupon immediately summon each person named in the above list, by giving him the sum of ten cents and the notice above mentioned personally, or by leaving it at his place of residence or business, with some person of suitable age and discretion, and must return the list to the court, at its opening, on the day for which the jury was drawn, specifying the persons summoned, and the manner in which each was notified. If a sufficient number of competent jurors do not attend, the court must direct to be summoned from the said list so furnished by the commissioner of jurors a sufficient number to complete the jury, by a marshal or a person deputed for that purpose. The ballots containing the names of the jurors summoned and not drawn, or excused from serving, must be returned by the clerk to the undrawn jury box, to be drawn as in the first instance. The ballots containing the names of the jurors who served must be placed in a box, to be called the drawn jury box, containing a minute thereon of the date of their service, and left until all the other names have been drawn, and as often as that happens, the whole number must be returned to the undrawn jury box, as in the first instance. The judge presiding in said court may impose a fine of twenty-five dollars upon each person duly drawn and notified to attend the court as trial juror, who fails to attend as required by the notice. The clerk of the court must, within ten days thereafter, issue a warrant under the seal of the court, directed to a marshal of said court, commanding him to collect from the person therein mentioned said sum and to pay over the same when collected to the treasurer of the city of Buffalo. The marshal shall execute such warrant in the same manner as provided by section seven hundred and ninety-two of chapter thirty-five of the laws of nineteen hundred and nine, entitled "An act in relation to the administration of justice, constituting chapter thirty of the consolidated laws.* A clerk who violates any one of the provisions of this section forfeits one hundred dollars for each offense, to be paid to said treasurer of the city of Buffalo. (Added by chapter 124 of the Laws of 1914.)
