Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 617 — Conduct of the Trial is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

While the jury are absent the Court may adjourn from time to time, in respect to other business; but it is nevertheless open for every purpose connected with the cause submitted to the jury, until a verdict is rendered or the jury discharged. The Court may direct the jury to bring in a sealed verdict, at the opening of the Court, in case of an agreement during a recess or adjournment for the day.
