Dozier and wife 1 Dev. 333, decided in 1827, Judge Henderson delivering the opinioh of the Court.\nAnd again in 1854, in the case of Lawrence v. Pitt, 1 Jones 344, another question was made in relation to the title to this same inheritance, the opinion being delivered by Judge Battle.\nIn both these cases the question arose whether upon the-death of Jesse Barnard, unmarried and without issue or brother or sister of the parental line, leaving half sister of the maternal line, the estate descended upon this half sister of the maternal line, or upon the heirs of Peter Barnard, the nearest collateral relation, who were of the blood of the first purchaser Peter Barnard, and in both cases this Court decided that the nearest collateral relations, who .were of the blood of the first purchaser, were entitled to the inheritance, and not the half sister of Jesse.\nIn the first case the plaintiffs were the maternal half brothers and sisters of Peter Barnard, and the nearest of bin to Jesse except Lydia his half sister, who was not of the blood of the first purchaser.\nIn the case of Lawrence v. Pitt, the same question was substantially made and decided in the same way. These two cases must govern this case, and we deem it sufficient to refer to those cases without further discussion.\nThere is no error.\nPer Cubiam. Judgment affirmed.",

It is well settled that in descended estates, where the person last seized dies without leaving issue, or brother or sister of the blood of the first purchaser, hut a halt sister not of such blood, and remote collaterals of such blood, the inheritance shall descend upon such remote collaterals, rather than upon such hall sister.\nThe cases of Bell v. Dosier, 1 Dev. 338, and Lawrence v. Pitt, 1 Jones 344, cited and approved.\nThis was a civil action brought to try title to land, and was tried -before His Honor Judge [Tool and a jury, at Spring-Term, 1871, of Currituck Superior Court.\nThe facts developed by the testimony were these :\nAbout 1812 one Peter \u00a1Barnard died seized of the land in question, having inherited the same from his father: said Peter left a widow who had dower assigned to her, married one Dozier, had issue a daughter, the feme defendant, and died; Peter left one son 'Jesse, upon whom the land descended as heir to Peter, and who died without issue or brother or sister of the whole blood ; that the plaintiffs are the nearest collateral kinsmen of the blood of the .Barnards, &c.\nUnder instructions from His Honor, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs, and the defendants appealed.\nBragg & Strong for the plaintiffs cited\nBell v. Dozier, 1 Dev. 333. Felton v. Billtvps, 2 D. & B. 308. University v. Brown, 1 Ired. 388. Burgwyn v. Deverew, 1 Ired. 583, and WiUcerson v. Bracken, 2 Ired. 316.\nBusbee & Busbee for defendants."
