Chap. 85.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 4852 of the Code of Virginia,
as heretofore amended, relating to grand juries. [H B 74]
Approved March 5, 1934
1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That section
forty-eight hundred and fifty-two of the Code of Virginia, as hereto-
fore amended, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 4852. The judges of the said courts shall annually, in the
month of June, July, or August, select from the male citizens of each
county of their respective circuits and in their several cities forty-eight
persons twenty-one years of age and upwards, of honesty, intelligence,
and good demeanor, and suitable in all respects to serve as grand jurors
who shall be the grand jurors for the county or city from which they
are selected for twelve months next thereafter. Such jurors shall be
selected in each county from the several magisterial districts of the
county, and in each city from the several wards of the cities in pro-
portion to the population thereof, and the judge making the selection
shall at once furnish to the clerk of his court in each county of his
circuit or in his city a list of those selected for that county or city.
The clerk, not more than twenty days before the commencement of
each term of his court, at which a regular grand jury is required, shall
issue a venire. facias to the sheriff of his county, or sergeant of his
city, commanding him to summon not less than five nor more than
seven of the persons selected as aforesaid (the number to be designated
by the judge of the court by an order entered of record) to be named
in the writ, to appear on the first day of the court to serve as grand
jurors. No such person shall be required to appear more than once
until all the others have been summoned once, nor more than twice
until the others have been twice summoned, and so on; provided, that
no male citizen over sixty years of age shall be compelled to serve as
a grand juror. The clerk, in issuing the venire facias, shall apportion
the grand jurors, as nearly as may be, ratably among the magisterial
districts or wards; but the circuit court of James City county, or the
judge thereof in vacation, shall select the grand jurors for such court
from said county and the city of Williamsburg in such proportion from
each as he may think proper.
