Brown. See State v. McCrystol, 43 La. Ann. 907, 9 South. 922; Railroad Co. v. Mask, 64 Miss. 738, 2 South. 360
Persons added to a jury, commonly from those in or about the
courthouse, to make up any deficiency in the number of jurors regularly
summoned, being like, or such as, the latter.
The writ by which such persons are
summoned.
The moral of the story is even though that seemed like the end of the world back then, right now I can look back on it and laugh. And if anyone is going through something similar right now just know it will get better.
