Each accused on trial may challenge five of the jurors, and the prosecutor may challenge five of the jurors in all, for any one trial, without being obliged to assign any reason therefor.

A challenge of a juror shall be made when the name of that juror is balloted and shall not afterwards be allowed.

Such challenge shall of itself disqualify the person challenged from serving as a juror at the trial.

Nothing in this section shall affect the right of the accused or the prosecutor to object to any juror on cause shown.

If any objection is taken to a juror on cause shown and such objection is founded on the want of sufficient qualification as provided by section 1 of the M1Jurors (Scotland) Act 1825, such objection shall be proved only by the oath of the juror objected to.

No objection to a juror shall be competent after he has been sworn to serve.
