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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““A decree in a suit involving the title to land, sustaining the validity of a defendant’s title, is conclusive on one who, although not nominally a party, was directly interested in the subject-matter, and by agreement controlled the suit on behalf of the adverse party through counsel employed by him, and, if successful,' would have shared in the benefits of the decree; and the defendant is entitled to plead such decree as an estoppel against the plaintiff in a subsequent action brought to recover the same land by one to whom such person conveyed his interest after the decree was entered, the question of fact as to the interest in and control of the prior suit by plaintiff’s grantor being one for the jury.””

2. ““Whenever one has an interest in the prosecution or defense of an action, and he, in the advancement or protection of such interest, openly takes substantial control of such prosecution or defense, the judgment, when recovered therein, is conclusive for and against him to the same extent as if he were the nominal as well as the real party to the action.””
