Induction [fr. inductio, Lat., a leading into], the giving a parson possession of his church.A clerk is not complete incumbent until induction, which is performed by a mandate from the bishop to the archdeacon, or if the church be exempt from arch diaconal jurisdiction, to the chancellor or commissary, or if it be a peculiar, to the dean or judge, who usually issues a precept to another clergyman to perform it for him.The person who inducts takes the hand of the clerk, and lays it on the ring, key, or latch of the church-door, or wall of the church, or delivers a clod, turf, or twig of the glebe, and gives corporal possession of the church, saying:--By virtue of this mandate I induct you into the real, actual, and corporal possession of the church of [Stow], with all rights, profits, and appurtenances thereto belonging.'Induction is the investiture of the temporal part of the benefice or the corporal seisin, as institution (see INSTITUTION), which may take place anywhere, whereas induc...

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...
