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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the name of the State appeared, the township and range, which are given, would serve to define the land. As it is, the notice fails to show whether the lands are in Michigan or in any one of the many other States, where similar methods of survey have been followed. While the case cited [Williams v. Olson, 141 Mich. 580 ( 104 N. W. 1101 )] indicates that the statute is not to be construed and enforced technically, we are of the opinion that it should furnish means of identifying the land.””
