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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a deed is deposited with a person other than the grantee, upon an agreement to deliver it upon the performance of certain conditions, it is an escrow, and it is not necessary that the terms authorizing its delivery be expressed in writing, but may be declared orally at the time of the deposit.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We do not think there is any merit in this contention, because the lease itself embodied all the terms of a valid contract, and was sufficient to take a verbal agreement, or one partly in writing and partly verbal, as to delivery of the contract, out of the statute of frauds.” (Citing cases.)”
