Supreme Court of Alabama January 23, 1913 (Wilder v. State)

ANDERSON, J.

While the record shows that Williamson, the foreman of the grand jury, was excused for the term on account of sickness on August 3d, this did not necessarily, eo instanti, render him ineligible for further service, and he did not cease to be a member of said body until he had availed himself of the excuse, or until replaced by a successor who was sworn in in his place.
