THIGPEN.

v.THIGPEN et al.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

July 11, 1911.

(Syllabus by the Court.)

Bastards (§ 102^*)—Inheritance from Maternal Grandfather.

Plaintiff brought suit to recover a distributive share in the estate of his maternal grandfather, who died subsequently to the date of the death of plaintiff's mother. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff was a bastard. Being such, he was not capable of inheriting from the grandfather: and consequently the court did not err in holding that he could not recover, and in directing a verdict accordingly. Civil Code 1910, § 3029.
