CRIMINAL LAW (IRELAND) ACT 1828 - SECT 9

The King shall only challenge for cause certain.

9. In all inquests to be taken before any of the courts in Ireland, wherein
the King is a party, howsoever it be, notwithstanding it be alleged by them
that sue for the King that the jurors of those inquests or some of them, be
not indifferent for the King, yet such inquests shall not remain untaken for
that cause; but if they that sue for the King will challenge any of those
jurors, they shall assign of their challenge a cause certain, and the truth of
the same challenge shall be inquired of according to the custom of the court;
and it shall be proceeded to the taking of the same inquisitions, as it shall
be found, if the challenges be true or not, after the discretion of the court:
Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall affect or be construed to
affect the power of any court in Ireland to order any juror to stand by until
the panel shall be gone through, at the prayer of them that prosecute for the
King, as has been heretofore accustomed;....
