The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““It is not shown what the rental value is, but in Patterson v. Miller, 154 Ark. 124 , 241 S.W. 875 , it was held that a tenant in common in possession, who has received rents enough to keep the taxes paid, is required to pay the taxes for the benefit of himself and co-tenants. In the absence of a showing to the contrary, it will be presumed that the rental value was sufficient to pay the taxes.””
