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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Looking to the contract in this case, we find a sale of ‘standing and growing timber’ for a valuable consideration, - which has been paid. It is clear that Roth intended to sell, and Lancaster intended to buy, all the timber falling within the description contained in the conveyance. Lancaster was ‘to have and to hold all and singular the said timber forever.’ The title was expressly warranted by Roth, and a lien reserved to secure the unpaid purchase money. Had there been no modifying provision inserted, this deed should be construed as an absolute conveyance of the timber as an interest in the realty, with no requirement for its removal thereafter.””
