Acts Of 1868. No. no, s -. This seems to
have been done. l: from this list Of regis
tered voters the names of persons who ar'.
exempt were drawn, that fact could not at
rect the legality of the drawing; nay. the
exempted persons might have served as
competent Jurors if they had chosen to
waive their exemption.
The second bill OF exceptions was to the
refusal of the Judge to incorporate III his
charge certain extracts from the cases vi
the State Va. Chandler, 5 Ann. i9o. and
Comnnchc vs. BOns, Ann. Gi.
The Judge stated that he informed the

substance OF + nc extracts referred to Us law.
We think that ;s sufficient.
1t is therefore ordered that the Judgment
be affirmed. with costs of appeal.
