Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A general covenant of warranty does not, at least conclusively, extend to such incumbrances as were known to the purchaser at the time of the contract and which he agreed to pay or discharge himself in addition to or as part of the consideration moving from him to the vendor, and when the question is, as in this case, what was the true consideration paid for the land? we think such facts may be given in evidence without in any manner contradicting the terms of the written warrants.””
