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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Said William C. Newman agrees to drill three wells at three widely separate points on said leases free from expense to the said C. F. Roach; said wells to be drilled to the depth of 2,500 feet or to oil or gas in paying quantities at a less depth. There shall be no expenses chargeable against said C. F. Roach for the drilling and equipping of said three wells up to the tanks for the same, if productive. If dry holes, the equipment shall remain the property of William C. Newman. Thereafter the expense of drilling and operating said leases shall be borne by the said William C. Newman and the said C. F. Roach in the proportions in which they have interests in said leases. It is further agreed that if said wells are drilled to depths greater than 2,500 feet, there shall be no charges against C. F. Roach.””
