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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question for first consideration is, whether the plea of estoppel, if sustained by the proof, constitutes a good defense to the action of ejectment. It is well settled in this State that under our Code of Civil Procedure a defendant, in an action of ejectment, may by. answer interpose an equitable defense, and that his equities may be tried and determined directly in that action, without having to resort to an independent suit in equity.””
