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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[B] efore treble damages may be assessed under §34-1516, it must be shown that appellant held over “willfully and without right” as provided in §34-1503. If appellant held over under the bona fide belief that he had a right to do so, or while he had reasonable grounds for such belief, the highly penal, treble damage, provision above should not be assessed against him. The statute must be strictly construed and cannot be extended by intendment beyond its express term.”
