Riley v. Carter
Riley v. Carter
Opinion of the Court
Chief Justice Wi-iiteield calls the reporter’s attention to the fact that the following sentences are omitted from the opinion of the court in the case of Riley v. Carter, as reported in 75 Miss., 198. The omission is from the end of the opinion,, and the sentences are as follows:
“We have thus gone fully into the last two points, because this case is to be determined by the law as it stood prior to the enactment of Code 1892, § 4472. The first foreclosure bill was filed in November, 1895, and'the second in January, 1896, and the crops were raised in 1896, and were, of course, not ‘planted’ or ‘growing’ at the ‘commencement of either suit.’ This wholesome statute happily changes the rule in this state, and gives a mortgagor, who has a crop growing or planted when the foreclosure suit is begun, the right to such crops, upon the ‘payment or tender of reasonable compensation for the use of the land,’ which amount the court may adjudge. It is a most beneficent statute, which will prevent much injustice in the future.
“Judgment reversed, and cause remanded
