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.
““There is no merit in appellant’s contention that the clerk failed to record the list of delinquent lands returned by the collector and failed to make the certificate of publication of the delinquent list before the day fixed for the sale. 3 “Even if it should be conceded that the matters set out in the complaint, with respect to which proof was offered, were of such a nature as to invalidate the sale under authority of numerous decisions of this court, the fact remains that these were merely irregularities or informalities, such as Act No. 142 of 1935 was intended to cure.””
