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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““* * * But the statute does not make such trespassing a penal offense, unless the land trespassed upon is a plantation ■or farm, or land on which crops or fruits of some kind are grown, or is inclosed by some kind of fence, either artificial or natural. The'fact that the land fronts on ;a stream, either navigable or non-navigable, does not make it an inclosure. And the proviso in the statute shows plainly that the mere posting of the land with warnings against trespassing is not enough to make it an inclosure, or subject to the provisions of the statute.””
