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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Between natural persons, the production of a copy is evidence of the execution of the deed by the person whose deed it purports to be, of its delivery, of its due acknowledgment; and, in the absence of other evidence, of the seisin of the grantor. This involves the presumption or inference of fact (1) that the seal was the seal of the grantor; (2) that it was affixed by him, or by his authority; (3) that he signed his name, or authorized it to be signed by him or in his presence; (4) that it was the grantor who made the acknowledgment; (5) that the certificate of the magistrate is genuine; and (6) that the grantor was seised of the Land which the deed purports to convey.””
