““When parties take per stirpes, and when per capita. —When the children of the intestate, or his mother, brothers, and sisters, or his grandmother, uncles, and aunts, or any of his female lineal ancestors living, with the children of his deceased lineal ancestors, male and female, in the same degree, come into the partition, they shall take per capita or by persons; and where, a part of them being dead and a part living*, the issue of those dead have right to partition, such issue shall take per stirpes or by stocks, that is to say, the shares of their deceased parents; hut whenever those entitled to partition are all in the same degree of kindred to the intestate, they shall take per capita or hy persons.””
