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.
““Whether respondents had actual notice of the mortgage, and knew what cattle were claimed thereunder, and whether its recitals are such as to enable third persons to identify the property, aided by inquiries suggested by that instrument, are questions of fact; and the evidence relating thereto should have been received and submitted to the jury, under proper instructions, together with the ultimate question, namely: Is the property in dispute the property mortgaged?” Fisher v. Porter, 11 S. D. 311 ( 77 N. W. 112, 114 ).”
