HINDOO LAW OF INHERITANCE.

whole estate of a man who has issue living.'' Narada. " The
prohibition of giving away is declared to be eightfold : a man
shall not give joint property, nor his son, nor his wife,
-without their assent in extreme necessity, nor a pledge, nor
all his wealth, if he have issue living &"c.n Vriaaspali. " A
wife, or a son, or the whole of a man's estate, shall not be
given away or sold without the assent of the persons inter-
ested ; he must keep them himself." Caitayana?.
In conclusion, I beg the favoiu- of your judicious readers
to see how far the Hindoo Law allows a father to alienate
the partimonial immoveables, and what are alienable.
Yours most obediently,
A HINDOO.

the author of the Dayubhagu.

the author offers his opinion (Sec. 15.) "The text is an
