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.
““So much of the arrangement between the defendant and Broecker in August, 1918, as purported to give defendant the right of possession at the specified rental for the term of one year is conceded by plaintiff, and so treated by the courts below as being binding and effectual. So much, however, of such agreement as purports to grant defendant any right to possession after the expiration of such first year is manifestly within the statute of frauds (sections 2302 and 2304, Stats.), and was correctly so held. * * * ””
