Syllabus

<p>That, upon a venire for forty-eight petit jurors for a court of Oyer and Terminer, there were drawn and returned forty-eight names, but among them the names of two persons who at the time of the drawing were deceased and the name of one person who had then removed from the county, — the evidence showing the fairness and good faith of the officers, — is no ground for quashing the array on motion of a defendant.</p>
