The offspring of a felon cannot succeed either to a maternal or paternal inheritance; but, if he had offspring before the felony, such offspring may succeed as to the inheritance of the father or mother by whom the felony was not committed. 3 Coke, 41. NON VALENTIA AGERE (Law Lat.) Inability to sue. 5 Bell, App. Cas. 172.
