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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question whether the water be a river or not is important only upon the ground that, if it be a river, the town, as it extends to the river, is bounded by the center of the stream, whereas if it strikes any large body of standing water, by whatever name it is called, it is bounded by the water’s edge.” 14 N. H. 478 .”
