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.
““A deed placed in escrow conveys nothing until the conditions are performed. •But,’ says Shop. Touch. (Oth Ed.) pp. 57, 59, ‘when the conditions are performed, amt the deed is delivered over, then the deed shall lake as much effect as if it were delivered immediately to the party to whom it is made, and no act of God or man can hinder or prevent this effect then.’ And it needs no authority to prove that that which the grantor himself cannot do, in this respect, he canot empower his grantee to do, for his grantee can but occupy his position; assuming, of course, that his grantee is chargeable with notice of the deed in escrow.””
