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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Should the lower court have allowed Fraley any compensation for his services in looking after these lands? The rule in respect to compensation between partners is that, in the absence of clear and- convincing evidence of a contract, compensation will not follow merely because one partner renders more service in connection with the firm’s business than the other, and while it appear® that Fraley did render more service in connection with the land than Blair, we are inclined to think that he should not have any compensation for this service, in the absence of more satisfactory evidence of an agreement that he should be compensated than appears in the record.””
