PANEL

In Law, said by Sir II. Spelman to mean "schedula," or "pagina," as a panel of parchment, . It commonly designates the roll containing the names of jurors whom the sheriff returns to pa on a trial. In Scottish law, the accused person in a criminal action, from the time of his appearance, is styled the " pannel." PANIC (Lat. Pan), is usually applied to a sudden and groundle alarm. The word originated in the stratagem which Pan had recourse to, during the Indian expedition of Bacchus, on being surrounded by a numerous army; viz. ordering his men suddenly to raise a simultaneous shout, which, favoured by the echoes of a rocky valley, had the appearance of so augmenting their numbers that the enemy were inspired by terror, and instantly took to flight.
