If a possessor of land die, without an heir of his body, or co-heir within the degree of cousin; the king is to heir to that land; second cousins hâve the land of the nephew, and the nephew has the land of the uncle who may die without an heir of his body : and a cousin has not the land of another cousin, by law unless it has been unshared between him and the dead , and for such the law is not extinct until the ninth man : and thence they are not of kindred, the proprietary being extinct.

Ibid., cod. Vened. T. I. L. II. Ch. XVI, n. 2, p. 178.

The ecclesiastical law says again , that no son is to hâve the patrimony , but the eldest born to the father by the married wife : the law of Howel, however, adjuges it to the youngest son as well as to the oldest ; and décides that sin of the father or his illégal act, is not to be brought against the son, as to his patrimony.

Ibid. T. Il, n. 54, p. 449.

As a son is heir to patrimony, so a father is heir to the property of the son, unless he hâve an heir; and, in like manner, a mother to her daughter's property.
