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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * it can hardly be said that each and every covenant or provision relating to property held in common carries with it the implication that no partition shall be had. Consequently, it is necessary in each case to examine the particular con tract involved and from the provisions thereof determine whether or not the parties impliedly contracted against partition. If they did not then the right of partition is absolute.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It seems reasonably clear that when parties contract for the drilling of wells, and such drilling is either made the consideration for the transfer of a mineral estate or is necessary to extend or perpetuate a lease, it must be inferred that the parties to the drilling agreement did not intend for the estate to be partitioned.”
