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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff’s third contention is untenable. From what we have already said it is obvious that the purchaser at the sheriff’s sale obtained no title to the minerals, and having no title, none was conveyed by such purchaser to the grantee. The doctrine of bona fide purchaser without notice does not apply where there is a total absence of title in the vendor. The good faith of a purchaser cannot create a title where none exists. And the purchaser from one in whom title has been vested by a judicial decree is chargeable with notice of defects apparent on the face of the record in the proceedings in which the decree was entered.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Where there is a severance of the mineral estate from the surface estate, the owner of the minerals does not lose his right or his possession * * *, nor can the owner of the surface acquire title by prescription to the minerals by his continued occupancy of the surface alone.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Boone v. Claxton · Lumm v. Colliard“"When a judgment in foreclosure of real estate mortgage, whether by inadvertence or otherwise, purports to foreclose an interest in the oil and gas rights which is prior and paramount of record to the mortgage, without any reason therefor being alleged or shown, the holder of such interest is entitled to attack such foreclosure in an action to quiet his title against the mortgagee who purchased at the foreclosure sale."”
