General precept for the return of jurors.

30. No jury process shall henceforth be necessary in any case whatsoever, but
it shall be lawful and sufficient for the judge, or any one of the judges of
Her Majesty's courts, before which the attendance of jurors shall be required,
fifteen days at the least before the first day upon which such attendance
shall be required, to issue a precept for the return of jurors under the hand
of such judge to the sheriff or other officer to whom the return of jurors
shall belong, and from whose bailiwick or jurisdiction the attendance of
jurors shall be required; and such precept shall command the sheriff or other
officer to whom the same shall be issued to summon and return, on a day to be
named therein for the trial of all issues, whether civil or criminal, which
may come on for trial before the said court, a sufficient number of good and
lawful men ..., qualified according to law, and shall not require the same to
be returned from any particular venue ... and every such sheriff or other
officer shall, pursuant to such precept, and without any other authority,
summon and return all such men as he shall be so required to summon, in manner
herein-before provided; and the jurors whose names are contained on any such
panel as aforesaid shall, subject to all just challenges and objections, be
the jurors to try the causes for which they shall be summoned respectively,
and all such proceedings may be heard and taken before such juries in like
manner and with the like consequences in all respects as before the passing of
this Act; ....
