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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The ‘unless’ clause is regarded as a limitation on the lessee’s estate or the period of the grant. Unless the lessee performs the additional act, which he is not obligated to perform, the lease automatically terminates at the expiration of the primary grant. Such a lease is distinguished from the so-called ‘or’ lease where the lessee is obligated either to drill a well or pay rental, and can be held in default upon failure to do so.””
