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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In all judicial proceedings the essential facts constituting the cause of action must appear in a way that an issue can be formed upon them, and so that the court can.proceed, in an intelligent manner, to observe and enforce the rights of the parties. When we read and analyze the several provisions of the several sections of this system, we see plainly, that no case would be stated, upon which the court could intelligently act, which failed to show that there was a joint or common property, and what that property was; that there were joint or common owners thereof, who they were, and their respective interests therein.””
