Howell v. Miller
42 So. 129 | Miss. | 1906
delivered the opinion of the court.
The “swamp and overflowed” lands were never the subject of taxation and sale for nonpayment. Not being subject to any tax, any assessment and sale of them had no warrant in law, and the purchaser acquired no right against the state, or the state’s vendee, who bought with the warrant of the law for their especial sale.
Affirmed.
