Co., 53 Pa. 62. Nom valebit felonis generatio, nec ad hsereditatem paternam vel matemami si autem ante feloniam generatiomem f eoerit, talis generatio suocedit in bu>re-ditate patris vel matris a quo nom fn-erit felonia perpetrate. 8 Coke, 41. 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.
