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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Being in writing, there is a rebuttable presumption that there was a consideration for the grant. (R. S. 16-107.) We find no evidence tending to contradict this presumption, and the existence of a consideration must therefore be treated as established, so that the claim of a want of mutuality fails.” (p. 42.) (See, also, in this connection, Fidelity State and Savings Bank v. Franz, 128 Kan. 500 , 278 Pac. 718 ; and Boner v. Texas Co., 143 Kan. 746 , 57 P. 2d 420 .)”
