Darrington v. Rose

In Darrington v. Rose, 128 Miss. 16, 25, 90 So. 632 (1922), the court noted "that any right which in law or equity amounts to the ownership of land, any right of entry on it, or to its possession or enjoyment, gives the owner thereof the right of redemption." Darrington, 128 Miss. at 25, 90 So. at 634. In Darrington, however, the party seeking the right of redemption had enjoyed full possession of the subject land, including the rents and income therefrom, for some twelve years prior to the filing of the action, even though he was not the owner of record. Darrington, 128 Miss. at 24, 90 So. at 634.
