Noun: The dignity or the jurisdiction of a bishop. Verb: To observe with the eyes. To obtain a mental impression or understanding. Seaboard Air Line R. Co. v Myrick, 91 Fla 918, 109 So 193. To perceive and obtain knowledge by the use of the eyes. Tracey v Standard Acci. Ins. Co. 119 Me 131, 109 A 490, 9 ALR 521. The word "see" and the word "hear," when used in a negative statement, are often used to express the negation of apprehension or conscious knowledge. A person may hear or see and yet not observe that is, he may not have a conscious knowledge of the object or noise he actually sees or hears, and, ordinarily, when questioned as to the fact, he will say that he did not see or hear. See Seaboard Air Line R. Co. v Myrick, 91 Fla 918, 109 So 193, 195.
