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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The evidence showed that [a protester] . . . had a contract for the property and had taken possession and was living thereon and had paid . . . part payment of the purchase price . . .We think him a property owner and that he was properly counted as such . . . He was the equitable owner and could have compelled the execution of a deed upon tender of balance of purchase money.”
