Eason, Watkins & Co. v. Johnson
69 Miss. 371
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the court.
The right of the landlord to recover from one to whom the agricultural products grown on the demised premises have been sold by the tenant, is not affected by the want of knowledge by the purchaser of the fact that the rent is due and unpaid. The lien exists by virtue of a positive law, and the rule of caveat emptor applies to all who purchase from the tenant. Newman v. Bank of Greenville, 66 Miss., 323.
Affirmed.
