91, § 12, it is declared, that, " inheritance or suc- cession 'by right of representation,' takes place when the de- scendants of a deceased heir take the same share or right in the estate of another person, that their parent would have taken if living." It is in virtue of this rule that grand-children of an intestate, take a share when they have living uncles or aunts j or that nephews and nieces succeed to a share in the estate of uncles or aunts. Yet among next of kin of equal degree there i...s no allowance made for this right.

SCOPE AND PROVISIONS. 83 So if a brother of the adopter died, intestate without issue and without father.
