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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While a partitioning of property vests in each of the parties thereto the full and exclusive ownership of the particular tract which has been set aside or allotted to him, the transaction is deemed not to operate as a conveyance or transfer of title. `The partition is of the possession, and not of the title'. The result is to vest the `equitable title' of the respective shares in the several owners to whom allotments are made, `the legal title remaining as before.' * * * Inasmuch as a partition by agreement has not the characteristics of a conveyance, it cannot be held to pass an afteracquired title.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Hamilton v. Hamilton“A partition between joint owners does not confer title upon either, but has the effect only to dissolve the tenancy in common, and leave the title as it was before, except to locate such rights as the parties may have, respectively, in the distinct parts of the premises, and to extinguish such rights in all other portions of that property.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Hamilton v. Hamilton“Therefore, under the evidence and findings of the jury, by which we are bound, we must conclude that the deed in question was not one of settlement of a contingent future interest, but merely one of partition which did not invest J. T. Sneed, Jr. with any new title. (Citing authorities.)”
