There are three degrees of kindred in our law; one in 
the right line defeending, another in the right line as¬ 
cending, and the third in the collateral line. 
The right line defeending, wherein the kindred of the 
male line are called agnati, and of the female line cognalif 
is from the father to the fon, and fo on to his children in 
the male and female line ; and, if no fon, then to the 
daughter, and to her children in the male and female 
line; if neither fon nor daughter, or any of their children, 
to the nephew and his children ; and, if none of them, to 
the niece and her children ; if neither nephew nor niece, 
nor any of their children, then to the grandfon or grand¬ 
daughter of the nephew ; and, if neither of them, to the 
grandfon or granddaughter of the niece ; and, if none of 
them, then to the great grandfon or great granddaughter 
of the nephew and of the niece, &c. et Jic ad infinitum. 
The right line afcending is direftly upwards ; as from, 
the fon to the father or mother; and, if neither father nor 
mother, to the grandfather or grandmother; if no grand¬ 
father or grandmother, to the great grandfather or great 
grandmother; if neither great grandfather nor great grand¬ 
mother, to the father of the great grandfather, or the mo¬ 
ther of the great grandmother; and if neither of them, 
then to the great grandfather’s grandfather, or the great 
grandmother’3 grandmother; and if none of them, to the 
great grandfather’s great grandfather, or great grandmo¬ 
ther’s great grandmother, et Jic in infinitum. 
The collateral line is either defeending by the brother 
and his children downwards, or by the uncle upwards : 
it is between brothers and fitters, and to uncles and aunts, 
and the reft of the kindred upwards and downwards, 
acrofs and amongft themfelves. 2 Nelfi. Abr. 1077, 1078. 
If there are no kindred in the right defeending line, 
the inheritance of lands goes to the collateral line; but it 
never afeends in the right line upwards if there are any 
kindred of the collateral line, though it may al’cend in 
that line ; and there is this difference between the right 
line defeending and the collateral line ; that the right of 
reprefentation of kindred in , the right defeending line 
reaches beyond the great grandchildren of the lame pa-
