N.B.—α. A nearer Residuary in the above Table is preferred to and excludes a more remote.
β. Where several Residuaries are in the same degree, they take per capita, not per stirpes, i.e. they share equally.
γ. The whole blood is preferred to and excludes the half blood at each stage.
B.—Residuaries in another’s right, being certain females, who are made residuaries by males parallel to them; but who, in the absence of such males, are only entitled to legal shares. These female Residuaries take each half as much as the parallel male who makes them Residuaries.

N.B.—When there are several Residuaries of different kinds or classes, e.g. residuaries in their own right and residuaries with another, propinquity to deceased gives a preference: so that the residuary with another, when nearer to the deceased than the residuary is himself, is the first.
If there be Residuaries and no Sharers, the Residuaries take all the property.
