释义

talesn.

Brit. /ˈteɪliːz/, U.S. /ˈteɪˌliz/
Etymology: Latin plural of tālis such, in the phrase tales de circumstantibus ‘such (or the like) persons from those standing about’, occurring in the order for adding such persons to a jury; whence used as a noun.
Law.
Originally, in plural: persons taken from among those present in court or standing by, to serve on a jury in a case where the original panel has become deficient in number by challenge or other cause, these being persons such as those originally summoned. Loosely applied in English as a singular (a tales) to the supply of people (formerly even one person) so provided. Also contextually applied to the order or act of supplying such substitutes, as to pray a tales, grant a tales, award a tales. In English use now restricted to such summoning of jurors; originally and still in U.S. of jurors (collectively) and the practice of summoning them.
