¶1The facts of this case present the same question which was decided by this Court, in Clement v. Cauble, 2 Jones’ Eq. Rep. 82. In that case, the decision was not unanimous, a dissenting opinion having- been filed by the present Chief Justice; but since that time-, the rule of descents, of *126which it was a construction, (see Rev.

"We must, therefore, consider the Legislature as having given its sanction to the construction which was adopted in the case above referred to ; particularly, as that case is inserted as a marginal reference to the rule in question by the commissioners of publication, under the directions, given them in the 9th section of the act “ Concerning the Revised Codesee Revised Code, ch. 121, sec. 9.
