sufficient number of names from the ["Jurors List"] ... and prepare a panel
thereof, and in all cases at the time of making such selection the said
sheriff or other officer making the same shall inscribe the date thereof and
the court for which such names are selected to be returned as jurors opposite
each of the names so selected in the proper column of "the [Jurors List]", ...
and shall initial in such ["Jurors List"] ... the names selected by him, and
the jurors so selected shall be summoned as herein-after provided; and a
written or printed panel containing the Christian names and surnames, arranged
in the order in which they are ... selected from the ["Jurors List"], and the
places of abode, and additions of the persons summoned, shall, seven days
before the day named in such precept for the return of such panel, be made by
such sheriff or other officer, and such panel shall contain a column in which,
if any of the persons named in such panel has been previously summoned and
returned as a ... juror, ..., ... during the same or the two preceding years,
there shall be entered on the panel opposite such person's name the date when
