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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"I>ut. if tlie premise contended for by the appellants were conceded, tlie conclusion which they seek to draw from it would not follow. The statute plainly confers upon counties the power to Require and hold real property for certain purposes, and the appellants’ contention is that this deed con-revs property to the county outside of and for other and different purposes than those specified in the statute. This is a question which these plaintiffs cannot lie permitted to raise, and in which they have no interest. Thai, could only be done at the instance of the state.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““There being a right in the city to purchase, if there is a capacity in the vendor to convey, so soon as the conveyance is made there is a complete sale; and if the corporation, in purchasing, violates or abuses the power to do so, that is no concern of the vendor or his heirs. It is a matter between the state and the city.””
