§ 2311.42. Jury may be drawn from adjoining county.
 

In any civil case pending in the court of common pleas of any county, wherein the parties thereto are entitled to a trial by jury, if it appears that the board of county commissioners of the county in which such action is pending is a party thereto, the court, upon the application of either party, shall certify such fact to the clerk of such court of common pleas in any adjoining county, together with the time fixed for the trial of said case and the number of jurors to be drawn, and shall order such clerk to draw from the jury wheel, or draw by use of the automation data processing equipment and procedures described in section 2313.07 of the Revised Code, the number of names of persons certified to serve as jurors in the trial of such cases in such other county. The venire shall be issued to the sheriff of the county from which such jury is drawn, and shall be served as provided in section 2313.25 of the Revised Code. Such persons so drawn and summoned shall, in obedience to such summons, appear in the court of the county in which such action is pending to serve as jurors therein, being impaneled and subject to challenge the same as in other civil cases. 
 

Each juror shall receive three dollars for each day of service and mileage, and all costs, including the costs incident to the drawing, issuing, and service of the venire shall be paid from the county treasury in which such action is pending upon certificate by the clerk of such county as to the service and mileage of said jurors, and to the officers performing such services, upon the certificate of such officers.
