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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is a matter of familiar appellate procedure that a litigant who is dissatisfied with the disposition of a cause in the trial court must see that such a record is made as will enable this court to review the errors of which he complains. There are certain approved methods of shortening a record for appellate review (Seigle v. Soldiers’ Compensation Board, 119 Kan. 253, 254 , 237 Pac. 657 , and citations; Richards v. Kansas Electric Power Co., 126 Kan. 521, 526 , 268 Pac. 847 , and citations). But a record which is founded on what appellant’s counsel remembers of the trial court’s proceedings will not answer the purpose, especially when the appellee objects to its sufficiency. (Holderman v. Hood, 78 Kan. 46 , syl. ¶ 1, 96 Pac. 71 ; Buckwalter v. Henrion, 111 Kan. 781 , 208 Pac. 645 ; Lambert v. Rhea, 134 Kan. 10 , 4 P. 2d 419 .)” (p. 468.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““But the written contract did not say so. It only withheld the water in wells; and while an oil and gas lease should perhaps be strongly construed against the lessee, he being the author of its printed terms, the utmost liberality of construction would not permit a reservation of the ‘water in the,wells of the lessor’ to include the water produced in an artificial pond on the leased premises.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Lessee shall have the right to use, free of cost, gas, oil and water produced on said land for its operation thereon, except water from wells of lessor.””
