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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under this section, it will he observed that, where any sheep, bovine cattle, horses, or other animals are received from the owner, under a written contract for the herding or caring for the same for pay or on share, or in any other manner, except by absolute purchase, such sheep or other animals, together with the increase and product thereof at all times, and until the full completion of such contract according to the terms thereof, shall be and remain the property of the said owners so letting them out to be herded and cared for. Hence, under a ‘partido’ contract which calls for the return of a like number and kind of animals at the expiration of the contract, the original animals and their increase remain the property of the original owner until the full completion of the contract, and the person having such animals in his' charge has no power to sell or dispose of them until after his title thereto has vested, by full completion of the contract according to its terms, or ‘by express consent of the owners.’ ””
