Institutions
Institutions. It was the object of Justinian to comprise in his Code and Digest, or Pandects, a complete body of law. But these works were not adapted to the purposes of elementary instruction, and the writings of the ancient jurists were no longer allowed to have any authority, except so far as they had been incorporated in the digest, Smith's Dict. of Antiq. It was therefore necessary to prepare an elementary treatise, and the Institutes were published a month before the Pandects, A.D. 533, and designed as an elementary introduction to legal study (legum cunabula). The work was divided into four books, subdivided into titles.The Institutes are the elements of the Roman Law, and were composed at the command of the Emperor Justinian, by Trebonian, Dorotheus, and The ophilus, who took them from the writings of the ancient lawyers, and chiefly from those of Gaius especially from his Institutes and his books called Aureorum (i.e., of important matters).The Institutes are divided into four...

Where the applicant is a sheriff, and claim is made to goods seized in execution by any other than the person against whom the execution issued, the process is called a 'sheriff's interpleader.' At one time an independent suit in Equity, called a 'bill of interpleader,' had to be brought against the two rival claimants by the person having no interest, but the Interpleader Act (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 58), instituted a more simple and expeditious pro-cedure, whereby the Court in which such person was sued might call the rival claimants before it, and stay the action against such person; and this Act, with its amendments under the C.L.P. Act, 1860, was incorporated, but by reference only, into th...
