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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the case of Christy v. Casanave * * * this court recognized the principles that if, on a lease for years, the lessee abandon the promises, the. landlord may demand the rent for the whole term, and that sueh lessee is bound to pay the sum between what the lessor has been able to rent the premises for since they were abandoned and that which was stipulated between the parties to the original contract. This doctrine was again adopted in the case of Reynolds v. Swain, 13 La. 198 . It is just and equitable, and should govern the present case.””
