Domesday, or domesday-book
Domesday, or domesday-book [liber judiciarius vel censualis Angli', Lat.], an ancient record made in the time of William the Conqueror, and now kept at the Record Office, consisting of two volumes, a greater and lesser; the greater containing a survey of all the lands in England except the counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland, Durham, and part of Lancashire, which it is said, were never surveyed; and excepting Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, which three last are comprehended in the lesser volume. There is also a third book, which differs from the others in form more than in matter, made by command of the same king. And there is a fourth book called Domesday, which is only abridgement of the others. The question whether lands are ancient demesne or not is to be decided by the Domesday of William I., whence there is no appeal. The addition of day to this Dome-book was not meant for an allusion to the final day of judgment, as most persons have conceived, but was to strengthen...

Code
Code, a collection or system of laws. The collection of laws and constitutions made by order of the Emperor Justinian is distinguished by the appellation of 'The Code' by way of eminence. See CIVIL LAW.The Code Napoleon, or Civil Code of France, pro-ceeding from the French Revolution, and the administration of Napoleon while First Consul, effected great changes in the laws of that country. Framed in the first instance by a commission of jurists appointed in 1800, this Code, after having passed both the tribunate and the legislative body, was promulgated in 1804 as the 'Code Civil des Francais.'

Church
Church, includes any chapel or other building generally used for public Christian worship. (Christian Marriage Act, 1872, s. 3)--The Church of England is a distinct branch of Christ's Church, and is also an institution of the State (see the first clause of Magna Carta), of which the sovereign is the supreme head by Act of Parliament (1 Eliz. c. 1), but in what sense is not agreed. According to Sir Wiliam Anson, the sovereign is head of the Church, 'not for the purpose of discharging and spiritual function, but because the Church is the National Church, and as such is built into the fabric of the State' (Law and Custom of the Constitution). 'The establishment of the Churchby law,' says Lord Selborne, 'consists essentially in the incorporation of the law of the Church into that of the realm, as a branch of the general law of the realm, though limited as to the causes to which, and the persons to whom it applies; in the public recognition of its Courts and Judges, as having proper legal j...
