The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922
A warranty by ancestor from whom the title did or might have come to heir. 2 Bl. Comm. 301; Rawle, Gov. 30; 2 Hilliard, Real Prop. 360. Thus, a warrant by an elder son during lifetime of father was lineal to a younger son, but a warranty by younger son was collateral to elder; for, though the younger might take the paternal estate through the elder, the elder could not take it through the younger. Litt. § 703. Abolished. 3 & 4 Wm. IV. c. 74, § 14.
