Barwick v. Miller , 4 S.C. Eq. 434 ( 1814 )

Upon the whole of this case, I am of opinion that the rule of the civil law should prevail in the construction of the 7th clause of the act of 1791, above cited; and that the complainant should be entitled to a moiety of the estate of her deceased son, notwithstanding his illegitimacy.

(Signed) W. D. James.
