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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The authorities are agreed, and such is the rule in this state, that where the oAvner of an entire tract of land, or of two or more adjoining parcels, employs a part thereof so that one derives from the other a benefit or advantage of a continuous and apparent nature, and sells the one in favor of which such continuous and apparent quasi easement exists, such easement being necessary to the reasonable enjoyment of the property granted, will pass to the grantee by implication. 19 C. J. 914; Godman v. Jones, 180 Ky. 217 ; 200 S. W. 662 ; Skaggs v. Carr, 178 Ky. 849 , 200 S. W. 27 ; Stone v. Burkhead, 160 Ky. 47 , 169 S. W. 489 .””
