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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The statute defines the term ‘mortgage’ to include executory contracts for the sale of real estate, and provides such a ‘mortgage’ shall not be received in evidence unless the tax is paid. Prior to the time the contract was offered, tax was paid. That it was not paid immediately after the contract was made makes no difference; that the amount of tax that was paid may not have been fully sufficient cannot avail appellant — that is the concern of the tax-collecting authorities.” (p. 202.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The appellant further complains the trial court committed error in receiving in evidence the two mortgages held by the association and by Minnie Marsh White, and the contract between himself and Mrs. Coryell because of failure to show tax paid. Both of the mortgages were given prior to the enactment of the mortgage registration act (Laws 1925, ch. 273; B,. S. 1933 Supp. 79-3101 et seq.), and it may be doubted that it applies. . . Prior to the time the contract was offered, tax was paid. That it was not paid immediately after the contract was made makes no difference; that the amount of tax that was paid may not have been fully sufficient cannot avail appellant—that is the concern of the tax-collecting authorities.” (p. 202.)”
