Rule 49(b). Proceedings on return of verdict

    When the jurors have agreed upon a verdict, they shall be conducted into court by the officer having them in charge. The clerk shall read the verdict and shall inquire of the jury, or jurors agreeing, if it is their verdict. If any such juror disagrees as to the verdict, the jury shall again retire to consider the case further, but if no juror disagrees, the court shall receive the verdict and order it to be entered in the minutes, and the jury shall be discharged. Where a verdict is rendered by six or more jurors the verdict shall be received unless a juror signing the verdict disagrees therewith.
