(Lat. intrudo, I thrust upon), the unlawful appropriation or usurpation of a church benefice, i.e., if done without the co-operation of the person who, according to the canon, is entitled to the benefice. In the Church of Scotland, the General Assembly, in 1736, passed "an act against intrusion of ministers into vacant congregations;" and the reason assigned is the principle of the Church of Scotland, "that no minister shall be intruded into any church contrary to the will of the congregation .. so as none be intruded into such parishes, as they (the General Assembly) regard the glory of God and edification of the body of Christ." See Hetherington, Hist. of lhe Ch. of Scotland, 2, 218, 302.
