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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The judgment is no doubt incomplete in not awarding to the plaintiff the possession of the land. But the court could, at a subsequent term, have remedied this oversight by completing it, or this court, having the case before it, may do the same. It will save costs to have this now done. The judgment will be affirmed, and a further judgment will be entered here, that the plaintiff below recover the possession of the premises.””
