	BROTHER-IN-LAW, domestic relat. The brother of a wife, or the husband of a 
sister. There is no relationship, in the former case, between the husband 
and the brother-in-law, nor in the latter, between the brother and the 
husband of the sister; there is only affinity between them. See Vaughan's 
Rep. 302, 329.
