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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . . . upon the trial, however, defendant offered parol testimony to show that the conveyance from Royer to A. S. Chappuis, which, upon its face, is an ordinary notarial act of sale, duly recorded, was intended to operate as a mortgage, but, in the absence of any allegation that defendant was induced to execute it by reason of error, misrepresentation, or fraud, the testimony was properly excluded.’’”
