der appropriate order of the court made in conformity with this agree ment, shall be deemed a legal jury, and such drawing or selection shall not be deemed in violation of this dCC.
 2 That is the meaning. of the lan- guage, "No case !. j. :. shall be tried except, in accordance with the provisions of this act"? D6esait not mean that the provisions of the act must be substantially 7 complied with or no trial shall take place?>
 And if the trial has commenced and issued been joined upon the de- fendant's plea of not guilty, and a demand made for jury trial, either the jury shall be drawn in the man. Ter prescribed by the act, or the trial shall then and there terminate and be at an end.
 Stating it in another way, no jury shall be drawn, no evidence heard, no verdict rendered, either of acquittal or conviction, and no judgment shall be rendered, if conviction had, and no commitment issued.
 In other words, unless the jury is secured by virtual and substantial conformity with the provisions of this statute, the jurisdiction of he commissioner and ex-officio justice of the peace to try the particular case is lost. Jurisdiction is generally de- fined as the power and authority to try and determine, and if the power "to try" is taken away and withdrawn so also is the power ito determine" where the provisions of the statute are violated and not substantially complied with.
 Hence, in view of the evidence sub- mitted and of the existing statute law of this Territory, hold that in the instant case, the provisions of the statute having all been violated by the justice court in securing the trial jury by which the defendant was tried and convicted, the trial court surrendered and lost all Jurisdiction to exercise judicial functions and that, after the demand for jury trial, all subsequent proceedings down to Judgment and sentence were coram non judice, and, therefore, void.
 Writ sustained and petitioner or dered discharged forthwith from cus- tody.
 Dated at airbanks, Alaska, this 1st day of December, 1881.
