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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As has already been said by this court, however, ‘an assessment may be “good and valid” in the name of the dead man, and yet the sale be illegal, if the proceedings to sell are not carried on contradictorily with parties in interest.’ Succession of Chaplain, 112 La. 1078 , 36 South. 859 . The Constitution (article 233) and the statutes (Acts No. 85, p. 129, of 1888, and No. 370 [No. 170] p. 170, of 1898, §§ 50, 51) require that notice of the proposed sale shall be served on the ‘delinquent’ (according to the Constitution) ‘taxpayer’ (according to the statutes), and, as a person who has departed this life cannot be considered within those classifications, and could not, in any case, be served with the notice, it has been held, when the apparent, or registered, owner is dead at the date of its issuance, that such notice shall be served on the actual owner, as (in that case) the ‘delinquent taxpayer,’ contemplated by the Constitution and the statutes.” (Writer’s italics.)”
