   [1913 Webster]

VISNE. The neighborhood; a neighboring place; a place near at hand; the 
venue. (q.v.) 
     2. Formerly the visne was confined to the immediate neighborhood, where 
the cause of action arose, and many verdicts were disturbed because the 
visne was too large, which, becoming a great grievance several statutes were 
passed to remedy the evil. The 21 James I, c. 13, gives aid after verdict 
where the visne is partly wrong, that is, where it is warded out of too many 
or too few places in the county named. The 16 and 17 Charles II. c. 8, goes 
further, and cures defects of the visne wholly, so that the cause is tried 
by a jury of the proper county. Vide Venue.
