A quick definition of commission to take a deposition:

A commission to take a deposition is a legal order that allows a witness who lives far away to give their testimony in a different location. The commission specifies who will be deposed, where and when the deposition will take place, and any other important information. It helps the commissioner to perform their duties. This is also known as a commission to examine a witness or a commission to take testimony. It is different from a letter of request.

A more thorough explanation:

A commission to take a deposition is a legal order that allows a witness who is not within the court's jurisdiction to be questioned and recorded. It is also known as a commission to examine a witness.

For example, if a witness lives in another state or country, a commission to take a deposition may be issued to allow them to be questioned and recorded without having to travel to the court's location.

The commission usually includes information such as the witness's name, the date and location of the deposition, and any other relevant details that will help the commissioner to conduct the deposition.

Overall, a commission to take a deposition is a useful tool for obtaining testimony from witnesses who are not easily accessible, and it helps to ensure that all parties have access to the same information during a legal proceeding.
