Jury Ordinance

After the jury have been sworn or charged with the person accused, they shall be kept in some convenient place in court apart by themselves (retirement of individual jurors for personal purposes only excepted, and then in charge of an officer of the court), until the judge has summed up the evidence and has left the case with the
jury:
Provided that if the court adjourns during the hearing of the case (either during the sitting or at the end of a day’s sitting) the judge may either allow the jury to disperse, or may direct that they be removed in charge of an officer of the court to some convenient place, there to take refreshment and rest, until the court reassembles, and such officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none save himself to speak to or to communicate with them without the leave of the judge.
