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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As against a mere trespasser or one who claims no title in himself, the plaintiff is not required to prove a title good against the world in order to recover damages for a trespass on the land. A prima facie title is sufficient, [citations omitted]. But as already stated, where the defendant sets up a title to the land on which the timber was cut, it is incumbent on the plaintiff to prove a title to the land superior to that set up by the defendant claiming ownership of the land from which he admits cutting the timber, [citations omitted].””
