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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the subsisting incumbrance absorb the value of the land, and the quiet enjoyment be disturbed by eviction by paramount title, the measure of damages is the same as under the covenants of seizin and warranty. The uniform rule is to allow the consideration-money with interest and costs, and no more. The ultimate extent of the vendor’s responsibility under any or all of the usual covenants in his deéd, is the purchase-money with interest.””
