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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute having required that the property shall be ‘described in the summons the same as described on the tax rolls,’ it necessarily follows that there must be at least a substantial compliance with such provision, since it is by virtue of the summons that the court acquires jurisdiction to hear and determine the cause. True the proceeding is one in rem, yet it is essential that jurisdiction of the res be acquired in the method prescribed by the statute, otherwise the owner is deprived of his property without due process of law.””
