ADJUNCTION (Lat. adjungere, to join to). In Civil Law. The attachment or union permanently of a thing belonging to one man's diamond be set in another's rii ■v >l<l * ring, as if one's guard be another's sword; by tewing, as 1. Ing the silk of one to make the coat olhor; by construction, as by buildi: another's land; by writing, as when one writes on another's parchment; or by painting, as when one paints a picture on anoth er's canvas. In these cases, as a general rule, the accessory follows the principal; hence those things which are attached to the things of another become the property of the Latter. The only exception which the civilians made was in the case of a picture, which, alt an accession, drew to itself the canvas, on account of the importance which was attached to it; Inst. 2.

1. 34; Dig. 41. 1. 9. 2.
