Appropriation

Is the Nephew left by his Father an orphan without
provision? But so many may any other child be, who
has no Uncle. Whatever provision is made for orphans
in general may serve for this particular case.

Would it not be however appear a hardship, were
if the destitute brother was not be said to deserve to receive no relief out of the
no support from the death loss of his estate of his deceased brother, nor the
destitute nephew from out of that of his Uncle? – Yes
certainly – Why? – Because in cases of such near relationship succession is in good measure rather the continuation of an accustomed advantage than the acquistion of a new one. Between Parent and child there exists to a certain degree a necessary intercommunity of goods: to a considerable degree, between brothers on the one hand and brothers and brothers children on the other there is at least a natural one: and the greater need the younger relation either party may stand in of support, the more exclusive this intercommunity will naturally be.
as between Father
and Child there is a natural community necessary so
between between persons so nearly related as Brothers and Uncles & Nephews there is a
natural, or intercommunity of goods & expectations during lifetime.
When people sent Between persons in the habit of living
together the house of each is to a certain degree
the house of the others: nor especially, if the surviving
brother turn out to be destitute upon the death of
the deceased, can it be supposed that doing during
the lifetime of the former the latter derived from
a support in some degree from his County.

In general wherever there has been that sort of
advantage reaped by one man from the property of
another, the cessation of it is not merely a failure
of acquisition, but in some degree a loss. Hence the
reason
