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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““'The trustees of the district, and their successors in office and title, had the right under the deed of 1883, to build on the lot any kind of structure for school purposes, and to alter or remove it at pleasure. If they removed it before terminating their title, the reversioner had not a ground for complaint. The lot was used for school purposes-so long, as the house remained upon it, so far as is disclosed by the record. It was only when the house had been removed, and the board determined not to put another on the lot, that it can be said to have been abandoned.””
