Lat.

In the civil law. Cognation. Relationship, or kindred generally. Inst. 3. 6. pr. Bract, fol. 67. Relationship through females, as distinguished from agnatio, or relationship through males. Agnatio apatre sit, cognatio a matre. Inst. 3. 5. 4. The use of this word, (like that of cognati,) sometimes in one of these senses, and sometimes in the other, as it occurs in the civil law often in the same paragraph, renders a correct translation a matter of some difficulty. Thus, in the following passages: Sunt autem agnati cognati per virilis sexits cognationem conjuncfi, quasi apatre cognati. — At qui per faminini sex&s personas cogna Hone junguntur, agnati nan sunt, sed alias, naturali jure Gogn&ti. Inst. 1. 15. 1. Here both cognati and cognatio are used in their general sense, in explaining agnati, and the passages may be translated thus: Agnates are relations (cognati) united by a relationship ( per cognationem,) of the male sex, as though related (cognati, bom together, having a common origin) from (by, or on the part of) the father.

In the canon law. Consanguinity, as distinguished from affinity. 4 Beeves* Hist. Eng. Law, 56 — 58. Consanguinity, as including affinity. Id. ibid.
