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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The money deposited herein regarding which the State of Louisiana was cited to make proof of its claim, came from the 1/8 royalty provided for by the Harman-Allison lease. In establishing ownership of it, appellant would be permitted to attack the titles under which others assert interest therein. Through the assailed reconventional demand, however, it makes claim to and questions Allison's 7/8 working interest under the Harman lease. This interest is entirely foreign to the initiated proceeding, and the funds deposited by plaintiff for distribution constitute no part of it."”
