Syllabus

<p>Grand Jury — Drawing and Summoning — Time eor Service — Statutes — Construction. Laws 1909, p. 133, § 5, providing that grand jurors shall be “drawn from the jury list as hereinbefore provided” (for the drawing of petit juries), has no application to the portions of the preceding section requiring monthly jury terms and fixing the time for the commencement of the term on the first Monday of the ensuing month; hence it is within the discretion of the court to summon a grand jury to serve on the 22d of the same month.</p> <p>Same — Statutes—Implied Repeal. Laws 1905, p. 270, § 4, requiring the drawing of a grand jury to serve during the ensuing three months, is impliedly repealed by Laws 1909, p. 133, a complete act purporting to cover the whole subject of selecting and summoning grand and petit jurors.</p>
