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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The only possible clue as to the identity of the particular part of the SWJ4 of NE14, Sec. 33 intended to be sold and sold herein is that the name ‘Maude Blake’ may be the name of the owner as shown by the last tax rolls in the' office of the County Treasurer. It is said that from this clue the tract intended to be sold could be identified by reference to the county records. But in Stickel v. Carter et al., 63 Idaho 78 , 117 P.2d 477 , Sullenger v. Baecher, 55 Ind.App. 365 , 102 N.E. 380 , and in Raymond’s Lessee v. Longworth [ 14 How. 76 ], 55 U.S. 76 , 14 L.Ed. 333 , the names of the owners appeared, but in each case the description was held insufficient and the deed was held to be void.””

2. ““In proceedings for the resale of a part or portion of a tract of land or lot, sold to the county for delinquent taxes, the notice of resale must so particularly describe the portion or part of the tract intended to be sold that it can be definitely and certainly located within the boundaries of the larger tract or lot; it will not do to describe it as a part of the tract, or the balance of it, though the name of the record owner be given.””

3. ““Where a tax deed attempts to convey a portion of a tract of land, it must be so particularly described that it can be definitely located within the boundaries of the larger tract, and it is not sufficient to describe it as a ‘part’, ‘balance’, ‘fractional part’, ‘residue’, or so many acres out of the tract, or as a tract less or excepting a given number of acres.””
