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.

1. ““In Whitehead v. Garrett, 199 Okla. 278 , 185 P. 2d 686 ; House v. Mainka, 196 Okla. 174 , 163 P. 2d 225 ; Sarkeys v. Evans, 197 Okla. 304 , 170 P. 2d 229 , and other cases, we held that the inclusion in a notice of resale of taxes for the last quarter of the current year which were not delinquent at the time of the first publication of the notice rendered the notice fatally defective and the resale invalid, and that the resale deed issued in such case was void.””

2. ““Whether a new trial should be granted on the ground of newly discovered evidence is determined principally by the consideration of the particular case rather than by some general rule of law. Meeting the ends of substantial justice between and among the parties in the particular case should largely control the action of the court in passing on the motion.” Lucas v. Lively, 202 Okl. 313 , 213 P.2d 459, 462 .”
