PANEL, (Panella, Panellum), according to Sir Edward Coke, denotes "a little part;" but the learned Spelman says, that it signifies schedule vel pagina, "a schedule or roll;" as a panel of parchment, or a counterpane of an indenture: but it is used more particularly for a schedule or roll, containing the names of such jurors as the sheriff returns to pass upon any trial. And
the impanelling a jury is the entering their names in a panel or little schedule of parchment.
