at the back of the box so that he cannot see the face of any card. He shall thereupon take hold of the card represented by the number of the marble and turn it so that it stands upright in its place in the box, but he shall not lift the card out of its place in the box or disclose the face of the card.

16. When a card has been so selected in each box the Stipendiary Magistrate shall remove from each box in the order of the boxes the reservist’s card so selected in that box. Every blank card so selected shall be restored to its place in the box. Every reservist’s card so withdrawn shall be replaced by a blank card. In so withdrawing cards the Magistrate shall not disclose or look upon the face of any card until he has wholly withdrawn it from the box.

17. If any error is made in counting the cards in a box the error may be corrected before the card has been so withdrawn by the Magistrate, but not afterwards.

18. The reservists whose cards are so withdrawn from the boxes shall be the reservists upon whom the lot has fallen, and their names shall be thereupon recorded in the order of the boxes from which their cards were taken.

19. When a card has been withdrawn from or restored to every box in manner aforesaid the process hereinbefore prescribed shall, if necessary, be repeated from time to time until the selection has been completed, save that the order of the boxes as established by the first drawing of marbles from the box-drum shall be retained until the selection has been completed.

20. Marbles so drawn from the card-drum shall not be restored thereto until the selection has been completed.

21. The cards of all reservists on whom the lot so falls shall be kept separate from the register, and shall not be deemed to form part thereof, but shall thereafter be returned to their proper place in the register if the reservist by way of appeal or otherwise comes back into the Reserve.
