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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And this court has decided that when .a matter is generally known in a community, this is some evidence of notice to those who there reside, or, as it is otherwise expressed, ‘where particular knowledge of a fact is sought to be brought home to a party, evidence of the general reputation and belief of the existence of that fact among his neighbors is admissible to the jury as tending to show that he also had knowledge as well as they.’ [Brander v. Ferriday, 16 La. Rep. 296 .] [To the same effect, see Benoist v. Darby, 12 Mo. loc. cit. 206; Dickerson v. Chrisman, 28 Mo. 134 ; Conover v. Berdine, 69 Mo. 125 ; Gordon v. Ritenour, 87 Mo. 54 .] ””
