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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The notice specified definitely that the appellant was to deliver up the possession of these premises on the first day of September, the very day this suit was brought for" possession. It is not sufficient to say that the suit could have been maintained if the notice had specified a day earlier for the delivery of possession, and that the tenant understood his tenancy was intended to be terminated at the end of the period to which he had paid rent. Neither is it sufficient that the notice may give more days’ notice than was required. It fixed the date of delivering up possession on a day certain, September 1,1908; and the appellant by that notice had the whole of that day in which to deliver the premises or vacate them,- that is, until midnight .of that day, and the suit was therefore prematurely brought.””
