It is where some defect appears on the face of the record itself that a venire de novo , as it is called, is awarded; this term being derived from the name of the ancient jury proce , which, in this instance, was awarded afresh, or de novo. And this differs in effect also from a new trial, for here no costs can be given, nor conditions imposed on either party, it being ordinarily awarded where the finding of the verdict is defective."
