(Panelia, Panelium), according to Sir Edw. Coke, 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: but it is used more particularly for a schedule or roll, containing the names of such jurors as the sheriff returns to pals upon any trial. And the impanelling a jury is the entering their names in a panel, or little schedule of parchment.
Scots law, signifies the prisoner at the bar, or person who takes his trial before the court of judicary for some crime.
