1. ““Kaufman v. Jackson, [La.App.] 55 So.2d 39 [42] “ ‘The defendants remained in actual corporeal and undisputed possession of all of the 54 acres of which Kaufman now claims an undivided % interest and exercise at least equal possession with Kaufman of the 27 acre tract. The defendants have retained and been in actual and open possession of the 81 acres of land prior to and subsequent to the tax sale, and the mere fact that they heard and probably might have thought that they lost a portion of their property at the tax sale should not estop them in the face of the actual retention of possession from urging such a defense. No one questioned their possession nor took any action that divested them of their possession from the time of the tax sale in 1931 up until December 1, 1950 when the present suit was filed.’”
