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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When it is shown that the homestead once existed, the burden of proof rests upon those who contest its continuance to show that it had been abandoned,- and that, in order to constitute an abandonment, it is not sufficient) to show a mere discontinuance of the use of the property as a residence, but it must also be shown that such discontinuance was accompanied by an intention never to resume its use as a homestead.””
