VAN VECHTEN on an affidavit in a writ of right, setting forth that one of the electors returned, on the grand assize, had left the state, moved to amend the panel by adding another.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
As there is no opposition take your rule.
Thompson, J.
I do not see hoxv it is possible for the court to grant the motion. If they do, the elector will be appointed contrary to the act, and all proceedings under such a panel consequently void. My opinion is, that you should have a new elector appointed in the same way as the others. I think we have a power to order the sheriff to summon another panel; but I do not think we can direct another elector to be added.
