Section 22. If a devise or legacy is made to a child or other relation of the testator, who dies before the testator, but leaves issue surviving the testator, such issue shall, unless a different disposition is made or required by the will, take the same estate which the person whose issue they are would have taken if he had survived the testator.

This section shall apply to a devise or legacy under a class gift whether the death occurred before or after the execution of the will.
