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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Miley v. Thompson““We conclude that at the time of sale the parties unquestionably were of the opinion the line “C-D” was Thompson’s south line. It is acknowledged that Thompson claims his 195 feet of frontage on Main Street or River Road commences at point “D” and runs northerly therefrom and he so testified in the trial below. Whether in fact Thompson’s south line lies between points “C--D”, of course, cannot be decided in this boundary action since Thompson is no longer a party to these proceedings.””
