shall there be any distinction between brothers and sisters of the
whole and half blood, all being descendants of the same mother,

share of the estate as the father or mother, if living, would have
been entitled to, and no more; and in such case, when there are
more children than one, the share aforesaid shall be equally
divided among such children; Provided, that there be no repre-
sentation admitted among collaterals after brothers' and sisters'
children.

28. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or taken to
alter or in any manner change the course of descent as heretofore
used and established, so as to affect the case of any entail, or
limitation in tail whatever, made, created and in being before
the first day of January, 1788, but the same shall, during the
continuance of the estate in tail, or limitation in tail, and until
the same may be legally destroyed or barred, descend according
to the course of descent heretofore used and established, nor shall
any thing herein be taken or construed to interfere with or alter
any limitation, grant, or gift, by devise, conveyance or other-
wise, to special or particular heirs in a different course of descent
from what is by this article specified, but in such cases the descent
shall be according to the limitation or form of the gift, devise or
grant, until the entail shall be legally barred or destroyed; nor
shall this article, or any thing therein contained, be taken or con-
strued to bar or affect any widow's right of dower.

29. If any man shall have a child or children by any woman
whom he shall afterwards marry, such child or children, if ac-
knowledged by the man, shall, in virtue of such marriage and
acknowledgment, be hereby legitimated, and capable in law to
inherit and transmit inheritance as if born in wedlock.
