| Title | Collateral Consanguinity |
| Details | (1) Collateral consanguinity is that which subsists between two persons who are descended from the same stock and ancestor, but neither of whom is descended in a direct line from the other.
(2) For the purpose of ascertaining in what decree of kindred any collateral relative stands to a person deceased, it is necessary to reckon upwards from the person deceased to the common stock and then downwards to the collateral relative, a decree being allowed for each person, both ascending and descending.
