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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to support a title by adverse holding, three facts must be established: First, the possession must have been continuous, actual, open, notorious and peaceable for at least fifteen years; second, the exterior boundary lines of the land so claimed must be well defined, i.e., either actually enclosed or so marked that the land is susceptible of being identified by its description; and third, the possession must have been of such a character and extent as to exclude the idea that the right to possession was in anyone else.”
