By the 22 Car. 2. chap. 10--commonly called
the statute of distribution, as well as, by an
act of assembly of this province, made in 1715,
it is enacted, that the distribution of the surplusage
on intestate's estates be made as follows:
|
|
" One third to the wife of the intestate, the
" residue amongst his children, and such as legally
" represent them if any are dead, other
" than such children who shall have any estate
" by settlement of the intestate in his life equal
" to the other Shares."
|
|
" But those children who have been advanced
" by settlements or portions by the intestate,
" not equal to the other shares, shall have so
" much of the surplus as will make all equal."
|
|
And the heir at law shall have an equal
" share in the distribution with the other children,
" without any consideration of what he
" had by descent, or other wise, from the intestate." |
