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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is well settled by numerous decisions in this state that the registration of a conveyance executed by one who is a stranger to the title as it is shown by the records — that is, by a grantor who does not appear in the chain of recorded conveyances, or other title records, as one who has acquired an interest in the land in question — is not constructive notice to a subsequent purchaser in the regular chain of title. Fenno v. Sayre , 3 Ala. 458 [(1842)]; Gimon v. Davis , 36 Ala. 589 [(1860)]; Scotch Lumber Co. v. Sage , 132 Ala. 598 , 32 South. 607 , 90 Am. St. Rep. 932 [(1902)]; Tenn. C, I. R. Co. v. Gardner , 131 Ala. 599 , 32 South. 622 [(1902)]."”
