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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is only the purchaser of the same real estate, or any portion thereof, who hy his priority of record cuts out the title of a prior purchaser; for when the second purchaser obtains by his quitclaim deed only what his grantor had (his grantor’s right, title, and interest) at the time when such deed was made, he is not a purchaser of the same real' estate (or any part thereof) which his grantor had previously conveyed away, and therefore no longer has.””
