Opinion of the Court

MANNING, J.

In Childress v. Monette, at a former term (54 Ala. 317), this conrt held, that the purchaser of a mortgagor’s equity of redemption in land, after the maturity of the mortgage, did not obtain such a title as would enable him to maintain a possessory action in the nature of ejectment, in a common-law court, to obtain possession. . Under the influence of that decision, the judgment of the Circuit Court must be reversed, and the cause be remanded.
