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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The act of Congress authorized a leasing for a term not exceeding 10 years. We perceive of no reason, and find nothing in the letter or spirit of the congressional enactment, which restrains her [the Indian lessor], after having made a lease, from entering into a valid contract with the lessee to eaneel such, lease before the expiration of its term, and then make a new lease to such party or parties as she might see fit for another term, not exceeding 10 years. This is what she did,, and all that she did. We think it clear that, the last-mentioned lease, of date March 21„ 1910, was a valid lease.””
