The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1. G. S. 9-4 is hereby amended by adding a new paragraph to read as follows:

"In Mecklenburg County, the board of county commissioners, or the jury commissioners if the board of county commissioners should delegate such authority to them, may cause jurors to be drawn and summoned for a particular week of service rather than for a particular term of court, and the clerk shall cause jurors to be assigned or reassigned to any term or terms of Superior Court held in Mecklenburg County during such week. The number of such jurors for each week of each term shall be as now provided by law, except that the board of commissioners, or jury commissioners, may cause a lesser number to be summoned. Any jury which is actually engaged in the trial of a case at the close of a week shall continue to serve until the trial is determined."

Sec. 2. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3. This Act shall become effective upon its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 21st day of June, 1961.
