(1) Where a cause appointed to be tried with a common or a special jury is called on and by reason of some of the persons summoned to attend the court as jurors not appearing or of the number of those appearing being reduced by successful challenge or other cause, there is or appears likely to be an insufficient number of jurors for the trial of such cause the court may require the Registrar, (a) forthwith to add and annex to the existing panel any persons present in court whose names appear in any Jurors’ Book for the time being in force; or (b) to strike and make out a new or enlarged panel of common or special jurors, as the case may be, containing such number of jurors as the court shall direct, and to summon such jurors to attend on such day and at such hour as the court shall appoint. (2) Where a cause appointed to be tried with a common or special jury is called on and none of the persons summoned to Juries 29 attend the court as jurors appear, then, if it is desired to proceed forthwith with the trial of such cause, the court shall order the Registrar forthwith to strike and make out a new panel of common or special jurors, as the case may be, containing such number of jurors as the court shall direct and to summon such jurors to attend on such day and at such hour as the Court shall appoint.
