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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The showing thus made by appellee [the county] is one negative in its nature, whereas it was distinctly held in Yazoo & M.V.R. Co. v. Bolivar County, 146 Miss. 30 , 111 So. 581 , that the showing to displace the curative effect of the twenty-five years' statute must be an affirmative showing that there was no valid sale or lease. The force of the twenty-five years' statute is such that it will support the presumption that the order appointing appraisers "was in fact made but that by some inadvertence it failed to be recorded." Hawkins v. City of West Point, [200] Miss. [616], 27 So.2d 549, 550 . Foster v. Jefferson County, 202 Miss. 629, 637 , 32 So.2d 126, 129 (1947) (holding that absence of order appointing appraisers in county's minutes will not overcome § 29-3-7).”
