Ðá tówende se biscop ðæt weofod and ða dwollícan sócne mid ealle ádwæscte (put an end to the resorting to the place, which had been supposed erroneously to be holy), Homl. Th. ii. 508, 5. Ic cýþe ðæt ic nelle sócne habban tó mínum híréde ðone ðe mannes blód geóte r hé hæbbe godcunde bóte underfangen . . . I declare that I will not that he who sheds man's blood have resort to my court before he have undertaken ecclesiastical 'bót' . . . , L. Edm. S. 4; Th. i. 248, 22. [Cf. From sócne þes folkes free from the resort of the people,) Laym. 2365. Sookne or custom of hauntynge frequentacio, concursus, Prompt. Parv. 463, col. 2. Gret soken hadde this meller With whete and malt of al the londe aboute, Chauc.Reeve's T. 67.] VI. a seeking for protection or a place so sought, refuge, sanctuary, asylum, (1) in a general sense:--Ic séce sócne refugio, of ðam is refugium sócn, Ælfc. Gr. 28, 6; Zup. 179, 13-14. Ðr se freónd wunaþ on ðære sócne ðe ic ða sibbe wið hine healdan wille, Exon. Th. 145, 1; Gú. 688. (2) as a technical term in reference to the protection afforded by a church or by the king's court, etc. v. ciric-, friþ-sócn:--Gif hwilc þeóf oþþe reáfere gesóhte ðone cing oþþe hwylce cyrican and ðone biscop, hé hæbbe nigon nihta fyrst. And gif hé ealderman oþþe abbud oþþe þegen séce, hæbbe þreora nihta fyrst.

VIII. as a legal term, frequently in connection with sacu. Kemble says:'Sócn is inquisitio, the preliminary and initiative in Sacu, in other words the right of investigating, necessary to and a part of power of holding plea,' Cod. Dip. Kmbl. i. xlv. But from a Latin version of a charter it would seem that sócn was the power of seeking or levying fines; the English 'Ic an heom ðæt hý habben saca and sócna' is rendered by 'cedens ut habeant privilegium tenendi curiam ad causas cognoscendas et dirimendas lites inter vasallos et colonos suos ortas, cum potestate transgressores et calumniae reos mulctis afficiendi easque levandi,' iv. 202, 7. Other instances of the occurrence of the word, whose Latin form is often soca, are the following:--Ic habbe gegeofen . . . Ælfwine abbod saca and sócna (sacam et socam, Lat.) . . . And ic wylle ðæt seó sócne (soca, Lat.) wiðinnen Bichámdíc licge intó Ramesége on eallen þingen swá full swá ic heó méseolf áhte . . . and se abbod and ða gebróðra intó Ramsége habben ða sócne (socam) ofer heom
