• 35 Fla. 210

Syllabus

<p>1. A record which only shows that a “jury were impaneled to try this cause,” is fatally defective in not showing that the jury was sworn.</p> <p>3. The fact of the jury being sworn should appear of record, and a recital that they were sworn in the b;ll of exceptions does not cure the defect.</p> <p>3. There is no inference that the jury was sworn from the use of the word “impaneled.”’ Impaneling has nothing to do with the drawing, selecting and swearing jurors, but simply means making the list of those who have been selected.</p>
