The accused has appealed from a conviction of larceny.

But this provision, from its very terms, has application only to the first jury drawing after the appointment of the jury commission. As to subsequent drawings no time is fixed in the statute within which the drawing must be made after the date of the order of the judge.
Judgment affirmed.
