While the jury is absent, the court may adjourn from time to time in respect to other business, but it nevertheless is open for every purpose connected with the cause submitted to the jury, until a verdict is rendered or the jurors are discharged. The court may direct the jurors 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. A final adjournment of the court for the term discharges the jurors.
