Because the mortgagee and successors had been in possession since 1946 by collecting rents and paying quit rents, they acquired adverse possession constituting a pre-existing interest under s.44 of the National Land Code, and because such possession exceeded twelve years before the appointed date the mortgagor's right to redeem was barred by s.16 Limitation Act 1953; therefore the respondent obtained replacement title and the appeal was dismissed.
