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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The bill and proof were insufficient under the statute to quiet title to real estate. Code, § 5443; Davis v. Daniels, 204 Ala. 374 , 85 South. 797 . It is not averred and shown that complainants were in the peaceable possession of the land, actual or constructive, as distinguished from a disputed or ‘scrambling possession.’ Foy v. Barr, 145 Ala. 244 , 39 South. 578 ; Carr v. Moore, 203 Ala. 223 , 82 South. 473 .””
