manner in the said Act mentioned, shall act as Jury
Officer for the jury district of such town; and
such Jury Officer, and all Justices of the Peace,
and the Registrars, Clerks, or other officers
of Courts, constables and officers of police, and

ordinarily required to be done at a different time or
