PANEL, according to Sir Edward Coke, is derived from pane, a part, and denotes "a little part;" but the learned Spelman says that it signifies schedula vel pagina, a schedule or roll, as a panel of parchment, or a counterpane of an indenture; whilst others derive it from the French panne, a skin. 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. Hence the impannelling a jury is the entering their names in a panel or little schedule of parchment.
