§ 381 Indictment may be found by nine - Endorsement.

Here's a plain English summary:

A grand jury needs at least nine jurors to agree before they can officially charge someone with a crime through an indictment. If fewer than nine jurors agree, the indictment cannot move forward.

Once nine or more jurors agree to charge someone, the indictment must be labeled "A True Bill." This label shows that the grand jury has formally approved the charges. The foreman, who leads the grand jury, must sign this endorsement to make it official.

This rule matters because it sets a clear minimum number of jurors who must agree before criminal charges can proceed. It also creates a paper trail, so there's a clear record of the grand jury's decision and who was responsible for confirming it.
