@ withdrawing a juror
The withdrawing of one of the twelve jurors from the box, with the result that, the jury being then found to be incomplete, no further proceedings could be had in the cause. The withdrawing of a juror was always by the agreement of the parties, and was frequently done at the recommendation of the judge, where it was doubtful whether the action would lie; and in such case the consequence was that each party payed his own costs. It was, however, no bar to a future action for the same cause.
In American practice, it was formerly usually a mere method of continuing a case, for some good reason
@ withdrawing record
The withdrawing by a plaintiff of the nisi prius or trial record filed in a cause, just before the trial is entered upon, for the purpose of preventing the cause from being tried. This may be done before the jury are sworn, and afterwards, by consent of the defendant's counsel.
For current practice, See dismissal
