as the Jury Officer may direct, or (failing such direction) as
the constable shall, in accordance with local custom, deem the
more convenient, a true list of all Maori men as required by
clause 2 hereof, with the true place of abode of each, and the
calling, description, or other particulars likely to serve for
purposes of identification of each, in the proper columns of the
said form of return.

7. Every such constable having made out such list shall,
   on the first and second Sundays in March in every year, fix
   a notice in the form marked C in the Schedule hereto (together
   with a translation thereof in the Maori language) upon or near
   the principal outer door of every Magistrate’s Courthouse and
   some church or place of worship, meeting-house, hall, or
   place regularly frequented by Maori people situate in each
   locality which is the place of residence of any person whose
   name appears on such list within the jury district.

8. If such constable shall find that there is no person
   resident within the limits of the jury district whose name is
   to be inserted in such list as hereby required he shall make
   his return accordingly, and it shall not be necessary in that
   case to affix the notice required by clause 7 hereof.

9. The validity of any jury list shall not be affected by
   failure to comply with any of the requirements of clause 7
   hereof.

10. Sections 17 to 30 (both inclusive) of the said Act shall
    apply, mutatis mutandis, to the revising, keeping, and trans-
    mitting to the Sheriffs of jury lists for Maori cases.

11. When any notice has been given of a claim to be tried
    by a Maori jury under section 144 or section 146 of the said
    Act, or of a mixed jury under section 148 of the said Act,
    the Registrar or proper officer of the Court in which the trial
    is to be heard shall issue a precept under his hand to the
    Sheriff of the Sheriff’s district within which such trial is to
    be heard, commanding such Sheriff to summon a sufficient
    number of Maori jurors to attend and serve at such trial.

12. Such precept shall be in the form contained in the
    Sixth Schedule to the said Act, or to the like effect, and shall
    command the Sheriff to summon not less than thirty-six
    Maori men (if so many be resident within the jury district)
    when the trial is to be heard under section 144 or section 146
    of the said Act, and not less than twelve Maori men (if so
    many be resident within the jury district) when the trial
    is to be heard under section 148 of the said Act.

13. The provisions of the said Act as to boxes for the names
    of common jurors, and as to jury-books for common jurors,
    and as to the summoning of jurors, as contained in sections
    31 to 34 (both inclusive), sections 39 to 50 (both inclusive),
    sections 65 to 70 (both inclusive), and sections 95 to 101 (both
    inclusive), of the said Act, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
    Maori jurors and juries.

14. (a) Immediately after the meeting of Justices referred
    to in section 19 of the said Act the list of Maori jurors, when
    revised and completed pursuant to section 24 of the said Act,
    shall, before being delivered to the Sheriff pursuant to section
    25 of the said Act, be submitted by the Jury Officer to some
    Stipendiary Magistrate for the time being exercising within
    the jury district the jurisdiction of the Magistrate’s Court,
    for the purpose of certifying the capability of the Maoris
    named therein pursuant to section 4 of the said Act.

(b) The Magistrate shall take such steps as he may think
fit to inform himself of the capability of any Maori whose
name appears in the said list, and may for that purpose
summon before him and examine any police officer or any
person having special knowledge of the locality.

(c) The Magistrate shall strike out the name of any person
on the said list whose capability he is unable to certify, and
shall verify such striking out by appending his initials thereto,
and shall thereafter sign a certificate at the end of the said
list in the form marked D in the Schedule hereto.

(d) All Maoris whose names are retained on the said list
so certified shall be deemed to be Maoris whose capability
is certified under these regulations pursuant to section 4 of
the said Act.

(e) The Jury Officer shall thereupon deliver or transmit the
said list to the Sheriff pursuant to section 25 of the said Act.

15. Any Magistrate may at any time, in addition to the
    powers hereinbefore conferred, deliver to the Jury Officer a
    certificate in relation to any Maori, certifying his capability
    pursuant to section 4 of the said Act for the purpose of
    qualifying such Maori thereafter to serve as a juror.
