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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a deed is delivered as an escrow nothing passes by the deed unless and until the condition of its delivery is performed . . . During the four hours between the death of the testatrix and the delivery by the depository, the legal title of the premises in question was in the defendant Baynes [devisee].””
