parties, the respective heirs shall pay a light fine. (This is intended
to secure aid for funeral expenses.)
98. If the collision is intentional, the fine shall be heavy. If
only one party intended the collision, such party shall be punished
on the merits of the case.

people. (This has reference to conditions similar to those of the

wife if she have neither a child nor a grandchild born of a son."

born of a son, the wife shall inherit an eighth part of his estate."
