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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This certified copy [a notarial record of acknowledgment], to which appellants also objected, was correctly admitted, not as sufficient alone to establish the delivery of the deed, but in corroboration of the statement of A. C. Herndon, and to show that such a deed was signed and acknowledged on the date, before the officer, and in the county in question. The authority of the clerk to make and certify to the copy and the admissibility of the copy are clear.”
