    C. S., 1654, Rule 4. This rule must be construed in connection with the sixth, which provides that collateral relations of the half-blood shall inherit equally with those of the whole blood, and that the degrees of relationship shall be computed according to the rules which prevail in descents at common law. Paul v. Carter, 153 N.C. 26; Nobel v. Williams, 167 N.C. 112. It is thus enacted that collateral relations of the half-blood shall inherit equally with those of the whole blood in all cases excepting those particularly stated in the fourth rule. The exceptions are these: (1) cases in which the inheritance has been transmitted to the propositus by descent from an ancestor; (2) cases in which it has been derived by gift, devise, or settlement from an ancestor to whom the person so advanced (the propositus) would in the event of the ancestor's death have been the heir or one of the heirs.

    This is settled in Burgwyn v. Devereux, 1 Ire. Rep., 586, where the matter is fully elaborated, and the construction of the rule of descent is fixed. It follows that the land must be treated as a new acquisition by Noah Furr, and is transmitted to his uncles and aunts on the mother's side as well as those on the side of the father." See C. S., 1654, Rules 4, 5 and 6. Paul v. Carter, 153 N.C. p. 26, and Noble v. Williams, 167 N.C. 112, are not applicable under the facts in this case. We can see no evidence of adverse possession from the facts appearing in the record.
