JURIES ACT (IRELAND) 1871 - SECT 23

If name shall be on Jurors List no challenge for want of qualification or want of a knight or jury duly summoned.

23. If any person shall be returned as a juror in any court whose name shall
be on the ["Jurors List"], want of qualification shall not be a cause of
challenge, nor shall any challenge be taken to any panel of jurors for want of
a knight being returned on such panel, or on the ground that the jurors, or
any of them, were not duly summoned, and the fact that the name of any person
returned as a ... juror is not on the ["Jurors List"] ..., or that such person
was returned to serve as a juror contrary to the provision for the returning
of jurors [in Article 5 of the Juries (Northern Ireland) Order 1974], shall be
a good cause of challenge to any person so returned before any court, and any
such person shall be discharged upon such challenge if the court shall be
satisfied of the fact upon the production of the ["Jurors List"] ... or by
such other evidence as the said court shall deem sufficient, but it shall lie
on the person challenging to prove the fact, and the production of the
["Jurors List"] ... shall be conclusive evidence as against all parties to any
issue or issues, whether civil or criminal, triable in any of the Queen's
courts, and to be tried by any jurors whose names shall have been returned out
of any such ["Jurors List"] ... that [the Jurors List has] been duly prepared
and made out ..., and except as aforesaid, nothing in this Act contained shall
alter or affect any existing right of challenge belonging to the Crown or to
the subject, in any cause, whether civil or criminal, and whether conferred by
statute or otherwise.
