Legal Definitions - scite

Definition: Scite (sIt) is an archaic term that refers to:

1. A location or site
2. The site of a capital messuage (a large house or mansion)
3. A municipal ordinance

For example:

• The scite of the old castle was now a public park.
• The scite of the manor house was marked by a plaque.
• The scite of the new law was debated by the city council.

These examples illustrate how scite was used to refer to a physical location, whether it was a castle, a manor house, or a public park. It could also refer to a legal or municipal location, such as the site of a new law or ordinance.
