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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that the deed from Henry Weathers to the defendant’s grandfather was made long before the issuance of the patent to Weathers and his heirs, but we think that the said deed is so worded as to include and convey a subsequently acquired title to the land in question. It conveys: “ ‘All my right, title, interest, estate claims and demand both at law and in equity as well as in possession or in expectancy of, in and to all that certain farm,’ etc. —Garrow v. Toxey, 188 Ala. 572 , 66 South. 443 .””
