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.
““The two deeds are inconsistent. By the first the son takes' 2,000 acres of land, subject to his mother’s right of dower. By the second, he takes 1,500 acres of the same land, free from his mother’s right of dower. But in the latter deed he received only a life estate, with remainder to his children. The rule is well settled that, where a vendee takes a second deed, inconsistent with the first, the second vacates and nullifies the first.” 137 Ky. 48 , 127 S. W. 519 .”
