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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is apparent that plaintiff sought the aid of a court of equity to have determined his right in the premises. The suit is somewhat out of the ordinary, but it is of that class where the court has power to apply settled rules to unusual conditions and to do equity. (Marquez v. Cave, 134 Kan. 374 , 5 P. 2d 1081 ; Stady v. The Texas Company, 150 Kan. 420 , syl. ¶ 5, 94 P. 2d 322 .)” (p. 494.)”
