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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That plaintiff was mistaken and undertook to avail himself of a remedy that he was never entitled to this does not prevent him from subsequently availing himself of a remedy that he is entitled to under the facts of the case. * * * No case has been called to my attention, nor do I-believe that any can be found, which holds that a person is estopped from pursuing a remedy that he is entitled to, because he has endeavored to avail himself of another remedy that he never was entitled to. If this were the rule, then a mere mistake of judgment would result in depriving one of valuable rights.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Brown v. Fletcher“... [I]t is not necessary that there should be an actual ouster to constitute an eviction, but ... any act of the lessor which results in depriving his lessees of the beneficial enjoyment of the premises constitutes an eviction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“that the acts complained of as amounting to an eviction had the effect to make the tenants of the lessee quit the premises, leaving them vacant.”
