Head Matter:
Thigpen v. Thigpen et al.
July 11, 1911.
Action for account and settlement. Before Judge Eawlings. Emanuel superior court. January 19, 1910.
Saffold & Larsen and Williams & Bradley, for plaintiff.
Smith & Kirkland, for defendants.

Opinion:
Beck, J.
The 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 riot reeoyer, and in directing a verdict accordingly. Civil Code (1910), § 3029.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
