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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In arriving at the market value of the property, it is the duty of the jury of freeholders to take into consideration all of the evidence. “ ‘ * * * It has been held, on authority and reason, that the opinions of ordinary witnesses acquainted with the value of property are often admitted from necessity, even though their knowledge is not the result of peculiar skill in any particular branch of business or department of science.’ Lewis Baillie & Co. v. Western Assurance Co. of Toronto, 49 La.Ann. 658 , 21 So. 736, 737 . “A witness is qualified to testify as to the value of land if he lives in the neighborhood, is acquainted with ' the property, and has knowledge of the real estate transactions, in the immediate vicinity. Louisiana Railway & Navigation Co. v. Morere, 116 La. 997 , 41 So. 236 . “In the case of Louisiana Railway & Navigation Co. v. Morere, supra, it was pointed out that a defendant should be permitted to testify as to the value of his own property if he had owned the land for some time, was well acquainted with it, and knew of the sales of land in the neighborhood. “A person who resides, and owns, and has bought and sold, and knows of other sales of property in the vicinity of that sought to be expropriated is not disqualified to give an opinion as to the value of the property. Louisiana Railway & Navigation Co. v. Sarpy, 117 La. 156 , 41 So. 477 .””
